From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For Eleonora d'Arborea: the English word "judge" or the Italian "giudice" or "giudicessa" do not match with the Sardinian original meaning of the word.

The word "judge" in Middle Ages Sardinia simply meant "king". In the Bizantium empire the "judge" was the one who governed in the name of the king, but in the early 11st century Sardinian judges declared their indipendence from Bizantium, because they began to make their own money, their own laws, emblems and all the state-related characteristic.

In other words, Eleonora was a queen, not a judge.
