SU US H /E RES. See Hjeres. SUZERAIN (Norman Fr. suz, under, and re or rep, king). A lord who possesses a fief whence other fiefs issue. A tenant in capite or immediately under the king. Note 77 of Butler & Hargrave’s notes, Co. Litt. 1. 3. In International Law. The word has no clear or precise signification. It has been extended to the Mussulman world, and to the control of European Powers through their colonies over imperfectly civilized people; 12 L. Quart. Rev. 223; [1806] P. 122. In modern times suzerainty is used as descriptive of relations, ill-defined and vague, which exist between powerful and dependent states; its very indefiniteness being its recommendation. Encycl. Br. It is said that suzerainty is title without corresponding power; protectorate is power without corresponding title. Freund, Pol. Sci. Quart. (1899) p. 28. While protecting and protected states tend to draw nearer, the reverse is true of suzerain and vassal states; a protectorate is generally the preliminary to incorporation; suzerainty, to separation. Encycl. Br. By the Treaty of Paris (1856) Turkey was recognized as having suzerainty over certain Danubian principalities. The term was used in the Convention of 1881 between the British government and the South African Republic; but it was omitted in the Convention of 1881. Hershey, Int. L. 106. Crete was recognized by the Powers in 1899 as autonomous, under the suzerainty of the Sultan. Id. SWANIM0TE. See Court of Swanimote.
