On whose behalf he exercises the right advocacy: he has chaired the District Court and he must organize the defense. During the war he led the feudal array of the country. Office of the Provincial governor was a sovereign castle.

In the 14th Century by the Brandenburg Ascanians introduced, the bailiffs were among the Bohemian kings (up to 1620/35) and the Saxon Elector, the highest officials of the sovereign. End of the 17th Century, but lost the post in importance and became a mere title of the Saxon Elector (heir apparent).
