The High Sheriff of Berkshire, in common with other counties, was originally the King's representative on taxation upholding the law in Saxon times. The word Sheriff evolved from 'shire-reeve'. The title of High Sheriff is therefore much older than the other crown appointment, the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire, which came about after 1545. Between 1248 and 1566, Berkshire and Oxfordshire formed a joint shrievalty (apart from a brief period in 1258/1259). See High Sheriff of Oxfordshire. Unlike the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire, which is generally held from appointment until the holder's death or incapacity, the title of High Sheriff is appointed / reappointed annually. The High Sheriff is assisted by an Under-Sheriff of Berkshire. ==List of High Sheriffs of Berkshire== *Before 1066: Godric, first recorded Sheriff of Berkshire (killed 1066) *Soon after 1066 Froger *after 1066 Henry de Ferrers *1071: Robert D'Oyly *1086: Aiulf *1094: Gilbert de Bretville *1097: Hugh of Buckland *1105: Aubrey de Vere *1110: Hugh of Buckland *1112: Alfred *1118: Ralph *1119: William de Buckland *1126: John Belet *1126: Baldwin FitzClarus *1129: Anselm, Viscount of Rouen *Michaelmas 1129: William de Pont de l'Arche *1153: Henry de Oxford *1154: Jordan de Podiis *Michaelmas 1154: Henry de Oxford *Michaelmas 1155: Richard de Camville *1156: Adam the Sheriff (probably Adam de Catmore) *Michaelmas 1157: Gilbert de Pinkney *Christmas 1160: Adam de Catmore *Easter 1170: Hugh de Buckland *Michaelmas 1176: Hugh de St German *Michaelmas 1186–1189 Roger fitzReinfrid *Michaelmas 1189: Robert de la Mare *Michaelmas 1190: William Brewer *Michaelmas 1193: William Brewer and Philip FitzRobert *Michaelmas 1194: Philip FitzRobert *Michaelmas 1197: Stephen of Thornham *Easter 1199: Nicholas de Kennet *Michaelmas 1200: Fulk de Cantilupe *Easter 1201: William Brewer *20 May 1202: Hubert de Burgh *Michaelmas 1204–1215: John de Wiggenholt *Michaelmas 1217: Richard (later Earl of Cornwall) *18 April 1220: Henry de Scaccario *Easter 1226: Hugh le Despenser I *12 September 1226: Hugh de Bathona *22 August 1227: Philip d'Aubigny *13 November 1229: Henry de Scaccario *14 April 1232: Alexander de Swerford, Archdeacon of Shropshire *10 May 1232: John Bonet *6 July 1232: Peter de Rivaux *Michaelmas 1232: Robert de Mapledurham *6 May 1233: William de Culworth *2 May 1234: Robert de Mapledurham *22 May 1234: Engelard de Cigogné *18 April 1236: Robert Brend *7 June 1237: Simon de Lewknor *1238: Hugh le Despenser I *Michaelmas 1244–1248: Nicholas or Alan de Farnham 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High Sheriff of Berkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
