	Royal Household - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The royal household itself had, in its turn, grown out of an earlier and more primitive thegnhood, and among the most eminent and powerful of the king's thegns were his dishthegn, his bowerthegn, and his horsethegn or staller.
		In the House of Lords, the Government Chief Whip is usually appointed Captain of the Gentlemen-at-Arms and the Deputy Chief Whip as Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard, with junior whips appointed as Lords-in-Waiting or Baronesses-in-Waiting.
		Members of the Royal Family who undertake public duties have their own separate Households, which vary considerably in size, from a part-time secretary, to the Household of the Prince of Wales, which is traditionally the largest Household.

	Almoner - LoveToKnow 1911
		Almoners, as distinct from chaplains, appear early as attached to the court of the kings of France; but the title of grand almoner of Franc* first appears in the reign of Charles VIII.
		He was an important court official whose duties comprised the superintendence of the Chapel Royal and all the religious ceremonies of the court.
		In England, the royal almonry still forms a part of the sovereign's household, the officers being the hereditary grand almoner (the marquess of Exeter), the lord high almoner, the sub-almoner, and the secretary to the lord high almoner.

		Each of the Royal Peculiars has a choir or choirs consisting of both children and adults, and the two larger ones each have their own choir schools, and are therefore directly concerned with education in the narrower as well as the wider sense.
		The Queen's Chapel, begun in 1623 and established by Anglo-Spanish Treaty, was the private chapel of Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, and it was later refurnished by Sir Christopher Wren for Catherine of Braganza, the wife of Charles II, according to the terms of the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1661.
		Used by these royal ladies and by Mary of Modena for Catholic worship, and visited during this period by Samuel Pepys, it was later used for Reformed and Lutheran worship, and was associated with the Chapel Royal in 1938.

	Elizabeth's Household
		England's royal household was the most stable in Europe, after the Pope's, because "it seems to have fluctuated less dramatically with the personality of the ruler" than the households of other monarchs.
		The Almonry would receive goods from other departments within the household, the Bakehouse, for example, and would "distribute the same to the poore people, without embesselling any part of the same away." The maintenance of largess was important in the preservation of the monarch's position at the top of the Great Chain of Being.
		Neither of the Piggot's were able to be accommodated in the Royal household upon Edward's ascession, and the father was pensioned off, and the son transferred to Elizabeth's household, who appointed Francis Master Cook upon her ascession to the throne.

		The Chapels Royal which fall under the authority of the Dean of the Chapels Royal, namely the two Chapels at St. James's Palace, and the Chapels at the Tower of London and Hampton Court, differ considerably in scale and organisation from Westminster Abbey and St. George's Chapel, Windsor.
		In contrast with Hampton Court, where the stipends of the Chaplain and the Virger are paid by the Royal Household, the Chaplain at the Tower of London receives an honorarium from HRPT which is set at one half of the average Church of England stipend.
		The Chapel Royal accompanies the Sovereign on Royal Maundy, and the expenses for this are paid from the Privy Purse, as are the State Coats of the Gentlemen and Children singers.

		Royal patronage of the Universities was of course no new thing, and Lady Margaret only followed the traditions of her house in her benefactions to them.
		But for Fisher's influence, however, she would have given a far larger share of her great wealth to the Abbey of Westminster, where Henry VII was adding to the Abbey church the splendid Lady Chapel that bears his name, and which was once thought tohave been designed by their old friend Sir Reginald Bray.
		She entrusted to the bishop the mission of explain ing her views to the King, whose leave had to be obtained to alter the royal licence which he had given her in favour of her previous project for Westminster.

	Casebook: Jack the Ripper - Message Boards: Sickert and "Secret" Royal Charity
		Two royal charity funds which are run under the patronage of Tony Blair and his wife, Cherie, and have had a shadowy existence for more than 200 years are to be wound down, Downing Street has told the Guardian.
		The two accounts, the Royal Bounty and Special Services Fund and the Royal Charity Fund, are financed by the taxpayer through annual payments from the Queen's civil list but they have little to do with the royal family.
		The Royal Bounty Fund has been used particularly to help British artists who have fallen on hard times - Walter Sickert was one beneficiary - but it is also used for "miscellaneous confidential purposes".

	SocietyGuardian.co.uk \| Society \| Scrapped, the secret funds that few knew existed
		Downing Street only confirmed the decision after a Guardian investigation into the royal finances uncovered newly released secret Treasury papers at the pub lic record office as part an investigation into the royal finances revealing the existence and operation of the two charity funds in the gift of the prime minister and his wife.
		The Treasury files shows that "the charity element" of the Royal Bounty Fund "was making less demands, no doubt largely because of the growth of the welfare state." But since no accounts have ever been published it is difficult to know where over two centuries all the money has all gone.
		The Treasury papers say that the Royal Charity Fund is "administered by the first lord's wife, or some other lady appointed by him, entirely within her discretion and subject only to the rule that the recipients should be resident in the United Kingdom."

	John Wycliffe
		These questions, even that of the wardenship of Canterbury, are, however, essentially unimportant, unless we are prepared with Woodford to impute mean motives to a great man. What is certain is that long before Wycliffe had become a power outside Oxford his fame was established in the university.
		This, of course, does not mean that Wycliffe's tendencies may not already have been sufficiently pronounced to call attention to him in high places as a possibly useful instrument for the anti-papal policy of John of Gaunt and his party.
		The rank he took is shown by the fact that his name stands second, next after that of the Bishop of Bangor, on the commission, and that he received pay at the princely rate of twenty shillings a day.

		The period when these Almonry, or choir schools, were becoming so general coincided with a time when music was emerging from its earliest forms of pure melody handed down by oral tradition.
		The old almonry schools had more or less survived,and the boys were usually placed under some sort of Master who was responsible for their education, and in some cases for their board and lodging.
		The custom of robing the choir of Cathedrals and Churches claiming a royal foundation in scarlet cassocks is a modern one: in ancient days the colour of cassocks varied, but red was not specially associated with royal churches or ' peculiars ', except in so far as it was a normal colour for royal liveries.

		Saint Wistan was a scion of the royal house of Mercia, heir to the throne, and for a short period nominal monarch, but his nature was more fitted for a religious than a political life, and he took little part in the affairs of the state.
		Not far away was the hospital, and almost adjoining the principal gatehouse was the Almonry where the poorer guests were received and food served out to the needy.
		For some time the fear of royal censure and punishment prevented cures being openly attributed to "Saint Simon," but it was not long before the fame of his healing power spread, and persons were brought from all parts of the country to "be measured by" Earl Simon and restored to health.

	King's School - Community - History of the School
		The Almonry school seems to have started in 1341, when the Chaplain began to receive annual payments of £1, possibly for doubling as a schoolmaster.
		This, however, did not kill off the Almonry School, for the Cathedral and its precincts were not within the city of Worcester: the two areas remained separate until 1835.
		This suggests that the Almonry School was founded in the 10th century (rather than the 14th Century), and that St Wulstan taught not only Benedictine novices but also Almonry scholars.
