    BR doesn't state precisely who has the right to earn taxes from =
    province. All that is written is about "regent of province" - in my =

    Actually, I can see his point: IMC, I rule that law holdings represent
    great fiefs - (ie, l level of law represents XX% amount of the total
    land of the province under your *lawful* control - dependant on the
    level of the province of course). HOWEVER, just because you lawfully
    control XX% of a province doesn't mean you have rights to *keep* the
    money (a portion, yes, but certainly not all). The person who really
    'owns' the money is the lord who actually has rights to the entire
    province (or that land if the regent is not the province owner).
    Therefore, people who hold law holdings represent everything below baron
    rank - if your not a baron or above, you won't be regents of provinces
    ... and therefore, will owe vassalage (=money) to the baron/count/duke
    who owns that province (or that parcel of land you control, in the case
    of regents holding law holdings in other domains besides their own).

    On the other hand, there is really nothing preventing said baronet (law
    holder) from withholding the taxes of the province ... :D

    So, IMO, the rules stand as stated in the manual.

    Cheers,
    Darren
