	Lord Keeper of the Great Seal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, and later of Great Britain, was formerly an officer of the English Crown charged with physical custody of the Great Seal of England.
		Consequently, it became not unusual to place the personal custody of the great seal in the hands of a vice-chancellor or keeper; this, too, was the practice followed during a temporary vacancy in the chancellorship.
		In subsequent reigns the lord keeper was generally raised to the chancellorship, and retained the custody of the seal.

		The lord chancellor is in official rank the highest civil subject in the land outside the royal family, and takes precedence immediately after the archbishop of Canterbury.
		His functions have sometimes been exercised by a lord keeper of the great seal (see Lord Keeper), the only real difference between the two offices being in the appointment of the keeper by mere delivery of the seal, while a lord chancellor receives letters patent along with it.
		As a great officer of state, the lord chancellor acts for both England and Scotland, and in some respects for the United Kingdom, including Ireland (where, however, an Irish lord chancellor is at the head of the legal system).

	Wikinfo \| Lord Chancellor
		Although the Lord Chancellor is usually a senior lawyer rather than a judge, he upon appointment becomes president of the Appellate Committees of the House of Lords (which is a court and a house of Parliament) and (conventionally) of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest courts that exist in the United Kingdom.
		Nevertheless, the Lord Chancellor has taken the judicial oath, and it is often said that the most important job of the Lord Chancellor is to preserve the independence of the judiciary, and to argue for the judiciary in the Cabinet.
		The previous Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg refused to rule out sitting as a judge, and the radical proposals that came with his replacement are partly due to his refusal to take this step.

		Francis Bacon was born in London on January 22, 1561, the younger of two sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under Queen Elizabeth I. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1573, at age 12 and studied there for two years.
