Nobility
The nobility (nobles) maintained law and order in medieval Europe. ----- The idea that the nobility maintained law and order may be a stock answer for some history course, but it is not entirely correct. Law and order were maintained on the village and manor level largely by the serfs themselves, because they served as the jurors in the manorial courts and provided the officers for law enforcement as well. Most of the nobles had no special interest in this and did not engage in it unless it was necessary to do so. In the cities, law and order was maintained by the city government, which was not normally headed by a member of the nobility, but rather by city officers, who were appointees. The power of the nobility was outside the cities, which were not fiefs and had charters. In many places, the cities had republican governments. This was especially true in medieval communes, which were almost entirely run by guilds. At the national level, the laws where the monarch's, and the function of the nobility was not so much to maintain it as to support it.
