	England Under The Tudors: Thomas Seymour, Baron Sudeley, Lord High Admiral (c.1508-1549)
		THOMAS SEYMOUR, BARON SEYMOUR OF SUDELEY, Lord High Admiral of England, was fourth son of Sir John Seymour of Wolf Hall, Wiltshire, and younger brother of the Protector Edward Seymour, 1st duke of Somerset.
		No sooner was Henry VIII dead than the Lord High Admiral tried to secure the princess (afterwards queen) Elizabeth in marriage; and when this project was frustrated he secretly married the late king's widow, Catherine Parr, whose hand he had vainly sought as early as 1543.
		He entered into relations with pirates on the western coasts, whom it was his duty as Lord High Admiral to suppress, with a view to securing their support; and when the Protector invaded Scotland in the summer of 1547, Seymour fomented opposition to his authority in his absence.

		To be high, in modern parlance, is to be in an altered state of mind, usually by the influence of a substance.
		Obviously, "high" is not always an accurately applied term, unless eating a whole bag of Fritos and playing PlayStation for eight consecutive hours is said to be an "elevated character." Use of the word "high" in such a situation may be somewhat ironic in nature.
		High is extensively used in the formation of compound words, most of which are of very obvious signification; as, high-aimed, high-arched, high-aspiring, high-bearing, high-boasting, high-browed, high-crested, high-crowned, high-designing, high-engendered, high-feeding, high-flaming, high-flavored, high-gazing, high-heaped, high-heeled, high-priced, high-reared, high-resolved, high-rigged, high-seated, high-shouldered, high-soaring, high-towering, high-voiced, and the like.

		The Admiral here says that these signs were from the west, "where I hope that high God in whose hand is all victory will speedily direct us to land." This morning he says he saw a white bird called a water- wagtail, or tropic bird, which does not sleep at sea.
		The Admiral was unwilling to remain here, beating about in search of land, but he held it for certain that there were islands to the north and south, which in fact was the case and he was sailing in the midst of them.

		High Admiral was the title born by the commander of Navy forces within an Imperial Sector Group.
		It is not clear, however, how much "High Admiral" was a formal grade in the Navy chain of command, and how much it was in itself a form of state dignity.
		A number of fanon sources - some perhaps unaware of the implicit connection between the roles of High Admiral and Sector governor - have identified High Admiral and Moffs as distinct ranks, separate within the hierarchy, and have suggested alternative rank insignia for the position of High Admiral.

	United Kingdom: Admiralty
		The Admiral of England or Lord Admiral, later Lord High Admiral (LHA) was not a rank but an office created in 1408 by combining the responsibilities of Admirals that had previously assembled the Northern, Southern and Western Fleets.
		The Anchor Flag of the LHA was also the flag of the Commissioners for Executing the Office of the Lord High Admiral, known generally as the Board of Admiralty, and was flown at the main masthead of the Admiralty yacht when members of the Board were embarked.
		As a result, the position of Lord High Admiral was taken out of commission, and now inheres in the Queen, who therefore flew the Admiralty flag on her yacht HMS Britannia when it was still in commission.
