Topic: Ecclesiastical Household


  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Heraldry
The reason is simply that, ecclesiastics being celibate, there would be no descendants to claim pedigree whom it would be necessary to place correctly in a family, whilst for the individual concerned his ecclesiastical ornaments of rank were sufficient distinction.
The chief distinction in the bearing of personal arms by an ecclesiastic is found in the use of the mitre, the crosier, and the ecclesiastical hat.
The possession of a crest is not denied to an Anglican ecclesiastic, who of course transmits it to his male descendants, but it is not correct (except in Germany) to use a crest concurrently with a mitre or ecclesiastical hat, both of which, of course, are substitutes for the helmet, to which the crest appertains.

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Harem (household)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In English, this term refers collectively to the wives in a polygynous household as well as the "no-males allowed" area.
Contrary to the common belief, harem is not necessarily a part of a palace and its inhabitants do not necessarily consist solely of women with whom the head of the household has a sexual relation.
For example the harem of the Ottoman sultan's palace would contain several hundred women including wives, mistresses, the sultan's mother, daughters and other female relatives and eunuchs and slave girls to serve the aforementioned women.

 John Locke -- Overview [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Without serving his connection with Oxford, he became a member of Shaftesbury's household, and seems soon to have been looked upon as indispensable in all matters domestic and political.
He saved the statesman's life by a skillful operation, arranged a suitable marriage for his heir, attended the lady in her confinement, and directed the nursing and education of her son -- afterwards famous as the author of Characteristics.
He holds that the civil magistrate has duties to the church, and that he ought to give facilities and protection to its ministers, not merely as citizens but as preachers of "the truth"; on the other hand he argues that civil or corporeal penalties are inappropriate as punishments for offences which are purely spiritual.
