Trial of Joparis Fyth

== Overview ==
The Oppidan Court of the 14 Kingdoms trial of Joparis Ulterset Fyth was a trial of Ruling Family Fyth member, Joparis Fyth, as a continuation of a series of trials known as the Great Trials that ran from 310 AG until 331 AG. Despite his outward avocation of the newly formed Second Grenthyx Dynasty, the Court felt it prudent to try Joparis due to his blood connection to the rest of the Fyth family, a family which, in the Dynasty's view, were culpable for tens of thousands of deaths during the war and by extension instigated the costly conflict. 
== Details of Charges ==
=== Betrayal of the crown ===
Joparis was accused of betraying the crown due to his connection to his brothers, Ainoux Fyth and Yifoux I Fyth, who were seen by the House Grenthyx to have perpetrated war crimes. The aim of this charge was thusly to investigate the possibility that Joparis himself colluded with his brothers.
== Reasoning behind outcome ==
After evidence was given on the matter to support Joparis' claim that he fled to the Capital in 307 AG (as the war was beginning), the court cleared Joparis of this charge. However, in order to convey an undiluted message of compliance with the new system, the judges unanimously agreed to sentence Joparis to a conditional freedom. This condition stipulated that Joparis was prohibited from leaving the grounds of Helmont Castle, a condition which (if broken) would result in imprisonment for life. Joparis would later flee Helmont and the Castle in 330 AG, spending a month in the Capital before being located and spending the rest of his life imprisoned there.
