ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Officers of the Kingdom of Cyprus

Okay kiddo, imagine that there is a big playground and all the kids playing have different jobs to make sure the playground is running smoothly. In the same way, the Kingdom of Cyprus had officers who had different jobs to make sure the country was running smoothly.

The officers were like grown-up helpers who were in charge of different things. There was a King who was like the leader and he had officers to help him with things like collecting taxes, keeping the peace, and making sure everyone had enough food.

There were officers called bailiffs who were like the playground monitors, but their job was to make sure people were following the rules and laws. Then there were officials who made sure that everyone had a fair trial if they did something wrong.

There were officers called knights who were like the playground superstars. They were strong and brave and fought to protect the kingdom if anyone tried to invade it. And finally, there were scribes who were like the note-takers. They would write down important information and keep track of things like how much money the King had.

All of these officers worked together to make sure the Kingdom of Cyprus was a safe and happy place to live - just like how all the kids working together made sure the playground was fun and enjoyable for everyone!
