	Order of Precedence in England and Wales
		House of Lords Precedence Act (1539), which, although deciding only the seats to be occupied in Parliament, and keeping lay and clerics separate, nevertheless affirmed a non-papal source of precedence for ecclesiastics.
		House of Lords Precedence Act 1539 and the Ordinance of 1595, both of which were to a large extent codifying current practice, form the canvass of the order of precedence.
		In 1714 the Lord Great Chamberlain, who was a marquess, was made duke of Ancaster; but his precedence remained that of his creation except when in the actual execution of his office, lest he always precede the duke of Norfolk (Earl Marshal).

		There is, however, abundant evidence to distinguish the hereditary and ceremonial position Oxford held from the appointed post of Lord Chamberlain, the officer of the royal household responsible for court entertainments, and later through his subordinate, the Master of the Revels, for the licensing of plays for performance.
		The patrons of the acting company were in fact Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon, and then his son George, both of whom served as Elizabeth's Lord Chamberlain.
		Accordingly, his players were Lord Hunsdon's men until their patron was appointed Lord Chamberlain in March of 1597, and the acting company resumed its old designation.

	Posthumous Child and Abeyance
		This was written before the House of Lords declared the Lucas patent valid in 1907, (treating the Chamberlainship as an office sui generis (although the decision of the Chamber-lainship claim of 1902 substantially followed that of 1781)) following the proved descent to the elder daughter in the Offices of Steward, Marshal and Constable.
		The descent of these offices and honours was exhaustively discussed in the Lord Great Chamberlain Case, 1902, in the Earldom of Norfolk claim, 1906, in the Barony of Lucas claim, 1907, and in the Earldom of Oxford claim in 1912.
		He also cites in support of his contention the case of the hereditary office of the Lord Great Chamberlain in 1781 in which it was held that that office vested jointly in the two daughters of the Duke of Ancaster the last holder of the office.

		All institutes were to be put under the jurisdiction of the bishop of the diocese in which the houses were situated; this corresponds to the main point of the Concordat arranged between Pope Pius VII and Napoleon, and which was still in force.
		The lord great chamberlain has charge of the palace of Westminster, especially of the House of Lords, and when the sovereign opens parliament in person he is responsible for the arrangements, and walks himself in the procession on the right of the sword of state, a little before it and next to the sovereign.
		The regent was always highly esteemed because of her great discretion and tact and, after her son came of age, she devoted herself exclusively to family life and charitable works.

		Scientists have observed that Shakespeare's record of astronomical knowledge acquired during the Elizabethan Age (such as the discovery of Mars' retrograde orbit) and the record of major celestial events (such as the supernova of 1572) cease with the occurrence of astronomical events and discoveries that had been made by mid-1604.

	Times Online News Log: The Lords being in their robes
		The QUEEN, being seated on the Throne, and attended by Her Officers of State (the Lords being in their robes), commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, through the Lord Great Chamberlain, to let the Commons know, "It is Her Majesty's pleasure they attend Her immediately in this House".
		The ceremony, which has its origins in the earliest days of Parliament, when the King was in charge of what the chamber was allowed to debate, dates more clearly from the 16th century and the reign of Henry VIII.
		Although Lord Falconer has revived the tradition, in recent years some peers, including the Duke of Norfolk, Edward Fitzalan-Howard, have made a point of walking normally in her presence.

	Asymmetrical Information: Whoa, Tony! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		The Archbishop of Canterbury holds one of the Great Offices of State as Lord Primate of All England, and of course predates the monarchy, or at least the monarchy of a unified England circa Alfred the Great in the ninth century.
		I say "that is regularly occupied" because the Offices of Lord High Steward and Lord High Constable have never technically been abolished, and still come to existence for the funeral of a monarch and the coronation of the next one.
		Each of these offices, unlike the Lord Chancellorship, was a secular office from the start, held by a layman, while until the 16th century all Lord Chancellors were priests (the last such, Cardinal Wolsey, having the distinction of being both Lord Chancellor AND Archbishop of York at the same time).

	Redefining the Sacred--The Great Bible
		The woodcut title page of the Great Bible, depicted here, tells the story of the wide dissemination of an English Bible as the keystone of a strongly united church and state.
		God smiles from above as Henry VIII dispenses the vernacular Scripture to Archbishop Cranmer and the prelates on his right and to the Lord Great Chamberlain Cromwell and the privy councillors on his left.
		The preacher in the pulpit expounds the Scripture to commoners, who receive it with shouts of "Vivat Rex" and "God save the king." Henry as head of the church liberates his people from the yoke of the papacy and in so doing unites the clergy and laity under one imperial monarchy.

	Mrs Beckett and Mr Benn
		It has been the consistent view of this magazine that although some members of the Government may understand their arguments about the future of the House of Lords, very few understand the historical facts on which their arguments profess to be based.
		Until recently the official publication on the House of Lords Website announced that the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (Law Lords) were, in effect, "the first Life Peerages." But English sovereigns have created life peers at least since 1377 when Guichard d'Angle was created Earl of Huntingdon for life.
		The Government has not yet made a persuasive case for the abolition of the rights of the hereditary peers in advance of the creation of a credible and trustworthy alternative, and it will most assuredly never do so until ministers and mavericks are willing to study the issues over which they wish to trample.
