Law court
Counties have courts that represented the Crown in matters of law and politics. These mechanisms and the associated buildings eventually just became concerned with legal matters.
Courts in the SCA
Court is a special activity in the SCA, where emphasis is placed on ceremony and courtesy.
Court is where awards are given, announcements are made and gifts are presented.
Some kingdoms have restrictions on bearing arms (weapons) at court. For instance, in one kingdom only members of a Baronial Guard can bear arms while at court.
