As the Crown of Aragon's possessions grow to encompass realms scattered from the Pyrenees to Sicily, the king's physical absence from any one territory becomes a permanent feature of governance. The office of Lloctinent is institutionalized in the fourteenth century, with a senior noble or royal relative deputized to hold court, dispense justice, and command troops in the king's name during his absence. This institution allows a composite monarchy to function as a single political unit across distances that would otherwise fragment it into warring viceroyalties.
