Post; Sheriff


The word Sheriff came about from Henry the Second. One of his nobles spoke to King reminding him that he was responsible for law and order in England and he should sort out the problem as it was getting out of control. Well he appointed a Riff which was ancient French word for the Law, and he appointed one to each English shire to keep his laws in his name. Putting the words together they came to be known as Sheriffs.
