Judge of Arborea

The Kings or Judges of Arborea (from the Latin iudices and the Sardinian judikes, "judges", the title of the Byzantine officials left behind when imperial power receded in the West) were the local rulers of Arborea in the west of Sardinia during the Middle Ages. Theirs was the longest-lasting judgedom, surviving as an independent state until the fifteenth century.
