Since treason was an offence against the king himself, such a charge could only be brought at the periodic courts held before the king (wherever he happened to be at that time). An example is the charge of treason levelled against Henry of Essex by Robert de Montfort at the king's Easter court in April of 1163, which resulted in a trial by combat between the two knights.

The king was Henry II and as was usual for kings at that time, he travelled around the country with his family, servants and retinue, stopping at large manors or at royal hunting lodges. He rarely heard legal cases himself since these were mainly dealt with on his behalf by sheriffs and barons.

What was the first charge brought against Christ by the sanhedrin?

The first charge brought against Christ in the Sanhedrin was sedition. For people heard him say; "We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another without hands." (Mark 14:58) The next accusations were blasphemy and treason. God bless! (Do you know Christ?)
