  Lord High Steward - LoveToKnow 1911
The Lord High Steward of England, who must not be confused with the Lord Steward, ranks as the first of the great officers of state.
The household of the Norman and Angevin kings of England included certain persons of secondary rank, styled dapifers, seneschals or stewards (the prototypes of the lord steward), who were entrusted with domestic and state duties; the former duties were those of purveyors and sewers to the king, the latter were undefined.
In Danby's case a commission under the great seal issued in the common form adopted for the court of the steward; this was recalled, and the rule agreed to by a joint committee of both houses that a steward for trials of peers upon impeachments was unnecessary.

 Stewards of Gondor - The Lord of the Rings Wiki - A Wikia wiki
Steward was the traditional title of a chief counsellor to one of the Kings of Gondor.
During the time of the Steward Pelendur, from the famous House of Húrin, this title became hereditary, passing the station of counsellor from father to son, much like the Kingship.
The Steward Faramir, son of Denethor II, surrendered to the King his rod of office, but it was returned to him.

The Lords Spiritual are the two archbishops and 24 most senior bishops of the Church of England, while the Lords Temporal are 633 current Life Peers, the 90 Hereditary Peers and the two Great Officers of State.
It is understood that the Law Lords are "resistant" and have yet to formally decide on a new location, away from the Houses of Parliament : their present offices are "most agreeable", it seems, while possible new offices nearby in a re-modelled listed neo-Gothic Middlesex Guildhall are being considered.
Lords who are Privy Counsellors place "PC" after their title : all Privy Counsellors are in any case entitled to the epithet "The Right Honourable".

On the 30th the Lord High Steward went to Westminster Hall, attended as before: and the prisoners being brought again before their peers, the Earl of Kilmarnock made a very elegant, and pathetic speech which was much admired, to move their lordships to intercede for him with his Majesty.
On the 1st of August the Lord High Steward, and the peers being come to Westminster Hall, the three rebel lords were brought to the bar, with the axe carried before them.

 Steward origins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
As discussed earlier Robert was obsessed with the idea that the Steward family descended from the Scottish royal family of Stewart and he incorporated a copy of the family history with the continuation of the Historia Eliensis, the history of the see, abbey, and priory of Ely, which he undertook as prior and dean.
Steward, who obligingly amended his religious opinions on the accession of Queen Mary, ensured that his family did well out of the Dissolution: they had a grant of former monastic lands and Robert's elder brother became hereditary steward of the cathedral's remaining properties.
Steward, Sir Simeon (1579/80?-1629?), poet, was the surviving son of Mark Steward (c.1525—1604) of Stuntney, Cambridgeshire, and his wife, Anne, daughter of the royal physician Robert Huicke.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Attainder
After the impeachment of Lord Stanley in 1459, for not sending his troops to the battle of Bloreheath, there was not another impeachment until that of Sir Giles Mompesson and Sir Francis Mitchell in 1621.
In the reign of Henry VIII Bills of attainder were often used instead of impeachments, as in the cases of Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell, Queen Katherine Howard, the Duke of Norfolk, and the Earl of Surrey.
Even Froude admits that they were "gallant men, whose high forms, in the sunset of the old faith, stand transfigured on the horizon, tinged with the light of its dying glory".

A procession was formed in the usual manner, his Lordship being preceded by the Purse-bearer with the purse, the serjeant with the mace, the Black Rod carrying the Lord High Steward's staff, and Garter carrying his sceptre.

Part of the wedding dowry which Marjorie Bruce brought to her husband was the castle and Barony of Bathgate in Midlothian, which it was intended would become their private family residence; but this was not to be.
