dbo:abstract The Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. Formerly the Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. Sheriff is a title originating in the time of the Angles, not long after the invasion of the Kingdom of England, which was in existence for around a thousand years. A list of the sheriffs from the Norman conquest onwards can be found below. The Shrievalties are the oldest secular titles under the Crown in England and Wales, their purpose being to represent the monarch at a local level, historically in the shires. The office was a powerful position in earlier times, especially in the case of Yorkshire, which covers a very large area. The sheriffs were responsible for the maintenance of law and order and various other roles. Some of their powers in Yorkshire were relinquished in 1547 as the Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire was instated to deal with military duties. It was only in 1908 under Edward VII of the United Kingdom that the Lord Lieutenant became more senior than the Sheriff. Since then the position of Sheriff has become more ceremonial, with many of its previous responsibilities transferred to High Court judges, magistrates, coroners, local authorities and the police. In 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, the single Yorkshire shrievalty was abolished, with high sheriffs appointed to each of the new metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties. Today the position is represented at a more local level in the form of four titles; the High Sheriff of the East Riding of Yorkshire, High Sheriff of North Yorkshire, High Sheriff of South Yorkshire and High Sheriff of West Yorkshire. (en) L'Alto sceriffo dello Yorkshire (in inglese High Sheriff of Yorkshire) fu un antico titolo di Alto sceriffo, che ebbe origine nel periodo degli Angli, non molto tempo dopo l'invasione del Regno di Inghilterra. Questo titolo esistette per circa mille anni.Di seguito si riporta la lista degli Alti sceriffi a partire dalla Conquista normanna.Gli Alti sceriffati (in inglese High Shrievalties) sono i più antichi titoli secolari della Corona di Inghilterra e Galles, nati con lo scopo di rappresentare il monarca a livello locale, livello che storicamente coincide con le contee (in inglese shires). Nei primi tempi, l'incarico corrispondeva ad una posizione di grande potere, specialmente nel caso dello Yorkshire, che si estende su un'area molto vasta. Gli sceriffi erano responsabili per il mantenimento dell'ordine e l'applicazione della legge, oltre a svolgere altri ruoli.Nello Yorkshire, nel 1547 alcuni dei loro poteri furono trasferiti al Lord Lieutenant dello Yorkshire; in particolare furono trasferite le incombenze militari.Fu solo nel 1908, sotto Edoardo VII che la carica di Lord Lieutenant superò la carica di Alto sceriffo per rilevanza. Infatti, la carica di Alto sceriffo divenne più cerimoniale, con il trasferimento di molte delle sue precedenti responsabilità a giudici dell'Alta corte, magistrati, coroner, autorità locali e polizia. Nel 1974, per effetto del Local Government Act 1972, lo sceriffato dello Yorkshire fu abolito e gli sceriffi riassegnati a ciascuna delle nuove contee metropolitane e non-metropolitane.Oggi la posizione di Alto sceriffo dello Yorkshire è rappresentata a un livello più locale da quattro titoli: l'Alto sceriffo dell'East Riding dello Yorkshire, l'Alto sceriffo del North Yorkshire, l'Alto sceriffo del South Yorkshire e l'Alto sceriffo del West Yorkshire.
