Judges
Sardinia was divided from the 11th century in four autonomous principalities, called giudicati.
- List of judges of Arborea, c. 1070–1410
- List of judges of Cagliari, c. 1060–1258
- List of judges of Gallura, c. 1070–1288
- List of judges of Logudoro, c. 1060–1259
Some of these rulers occasionally took the style of king (rex):
- 1113–1128 Constantine I, Judge of Torres
- 1128–1150 Gonario II, Judge of Torres
Some ruled with the title King of Sardinia (rex Sardiniae) by grant of the Holy Roman Emperor:
- Barisone II of Arborea, 1164–1165 (by Emperor Frederick I)
- Peter I of Arborea, from 1185 (by inheritance from Barisone)
- Hugh I of Arborea, from 1185 (by inheritance from Barisone)
- Enzo of Logudoro, 1238–1245 (iure uxoris Adelasia of Torres, recognised by Emperor Frederick II)
None of these rulers had effective authority over the whole isle.

Famous quotes containing the word judges:
“How utterly futile debauchery seems once it has been accomplished, and what ashes of disgust it leaves in the soul! The pity of it is that the soul outlives the body, or in other words that impression judges sensation and that one thinks about and finds fault with the pleasure one has taken.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“The judges of normality are present everywhere. We are in the society of the teacher-judge, the doctor-judge, the educator- judge, the “social worker”-judge.”
—Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
“Everyone judges plays as if they were very easy to write. They don’t know that it is hard to write a good play, and twice as hard and tortuous to write a bad one.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
