The Baron of Caux

The Baron of Caux is the State; the absolute ruler and final judge of all the affairs of the Sovereign Barony of Caux and its subjects, peer, equestrian and common. No matter is so great nor detail so small that it does not fall under the Baron's purview, if it pertains to the Sovereign Barony of Caux

Notwithstanding this absolute authority, the Baron is pleased to be assisted in his deliberations, and in the making of laws for the regulation of good order in the Barony, by two councils representing the estates

The Privy Council

The Privy Council is composed of all members of the nobility, peers and equestrians (Knights and Dames of the Barony). The Privy Council must meet in public once every year, on Court Day (October 1) and may be called at any time at the pleasure of the Baron.

On Court Day, the first act of business of the Privy Council is to elect from its number a Prime Minister, to be its chairman and chief spokesman to the Baron

The Commons

The Commons is composed of all subjects 16 years of age and older who are not nobility, peers or equestrians. The Commons must meet in public once every year, on Commons Day (June 1) and may be called at any time at the pleasure of the Baron.

On Commons Day, the first act of business of the Commons is to elect from its number a Tribune of the People, to be its chairman and chief spokesman to the Baron
