Evening Judy, I have seen the disciples thing bounded about, but never accepted it
Till now - and yes it was after I asked the question :)
Does this make sense to you?
When the first court started in Charlemaine, christianity was somehwat popular and as such the way that people lead their lives would have been based on the bible
So the number 12 would be prominent in the minds of people
And as you say, it does have a broader acceptance of a fair decision
As regards the sometimes its 6 etc, it can be three as with our magistartes courts which go way back to 1195 where the knights would perside over a problem :)
Thanks again, whether the reason is true or not I happy with a reason why it could be :)
