Further, some officials in court own their positions either through inheritance, or because the office itself is property. They may be part of the domain, loyal to the domain, at least in the abstract, but find fault with either some specific policy of the regent, or more, even including being a major rival of the regent. In medieval government, offices are regarded as property, and depriving a person of his office was no different than taking his land or confiscating his titles. It is only possible when the regent can make the claim that the vassal has broken their oath of fealty or their oath of office. The modern idea that an official serves at the pleasure of the regent is only just invented during the renaissance, and so while its something a regent might build toward, allowing a regent to simply dismiss inconvenient officials eliminates part of the internal conflict that is natural to a medieval court.
