| ARTICLES RELATED TO Lord Keeper of the Great Seal | | | |  Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Lord Chancellor - HistoryThe office of Lord Chancellor may trace its origins to the Carolingian monarchy, in which a Chancellor acted as the keeper of the royal seal. In England, the office dates at least as far back as the Norman Conquest (1066), and possibly earlier. Some give the first Chancellor of England as Angmendus, in 605. Other sources suggest that the first to appoint a Chancellor was Saint Edward the Confessor, who is said to have adopted the practice of sealing documents instead of personally signing them. In any event, the office has been conti ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Lord Chancellor - Ceremonies Like the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Lord Chancellor has an official residence within the Palace of Westminster. Before each day's sitting of the House of Lords, the Lord Chancellor forms part of a procession that marches from his residence to the Lords Chamber. The Lord Chancellor is preceded by the Deputy Serjeant-at-Arms or Principal Doorkeeper of the House (who bears the Mace) and by the Purse-Bearer (who carries a large purse embroidered and decorated the Royal Arms and cypher.) The Lord Chancellor is followed by his Train-Bear ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Lord Chancellor - Reform In recent years the combined executive, legislative and judicial functions of the Lord Chancellor have been seen by some as increasingly untenable. The position of the Lord Chancellor was also undermined by public outcries against the Lord Chancellor's judicial responsibilities, particularly when the previous Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg, refused to rule out sitting judicially (and, in fact, he did sit as a member of the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords). The Blair Government has proposed abolishing the office altogether, bu ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Lord Chancellor - Precedence and privileges The Lord High Chancellor outranks all other Great Officers of State, with the exception of the Lord High Steward, which office, as aforementioned, has generally been vacant since the 15th century. Under modern conventions, the office of Lord High Steward is only filled on the day of a new monarch's coronation; thus, at all other times, the Lord Chancellor remains the highest ranking Great Officer. The importance of the office is reflected by the Statute of Treasons 1351, which makes it high treason to slay the Lord Chancellor. A Lord High Tr ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Elizabeth I of England - Conflict with France and Scotland The Queen found a dangerous rival in her cousin, the Catholic Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots and wife of the French King Francis II. In 1559, Mary declared herself Queen of England with French support. In Scotland, Mary Stuart's mother, Mary of Guise attempted to cement French influence by providing for army fortification against English aggression. A group of Scottish lords allied to Elizabeth deposed Mary of Guise and, under pressure from the English, Mary's representatives signed the Treaty of Edinburgh, which led to the withdrawal of French troops. Though Mary vehemently refused to ratify the treaty, it h ...

In 1563, alarmed by the Queen's near-fatal illness, Parliament demanded that she marry or nominate an heir to prevent civil war upon her death. She refused to do either, and in April, she prorogued parliament. Parliament did not reconvene until Elizabeth needed its assent to raise taxes in 1566. The House of Commons threatened to withhold funds until the Queen agreed to pr ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Escape of Charles II - Boscobel to Bentley The houses on the estate were looked after by servants. Five Catholic brothers called Pendrell (also Penderel) lived on the Boscobel Estate. At White Ladies the King was met by George Pendrell who called his brother, Richard, from his farm, Hobbal Grange, at Tong. They disguised the King as a woodsman and his long hair was cut. For safety he and Richard Pendrell hid in Spring Coppice in the estate. Shortly after the King had left the Priory, a company of soldiers ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Lord Chancellor - The Office Formerly, when the office was held by ecclesiastics, a "Keeper of the Great Seal" acted in the Lord Chancellor's absence. Keepers were also appointed when the office of Lord Chancellor fell vacant, and discharged the duties of the office until an appropriate replacement could be found. When Elizabeth I became Queen, Parliament passed an Act providing that a Lord Keeper of the Great Seal would be entitled to "like place, pre-eminence, jurisdiction, execution of laws, and all other customs, commodities, and advantages" as a Lord Chancellor. Th ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Elizabeth I of England - Death Elizabeth I fell ill in February 1603, suffering from frailty and insomnia. After a period of distressing reflection, she died on March 24 at Richmond Palace, aged 69, the oldest English Sovereign ever to have reigned; the mark was not surpassed until George II died in his seventy-seventh year in 1760. Elizabeth was buried in Westminster Abbey, immediately next to her sister Mary I. The Latin inscription on their tomb translates as, "Partners both in Throne and grave, here rest we two sisters, Elizabeth ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Elizabeth I of England - Later years In 1598, Elizabeth's chief advisor, Lord Burghley, died. His political mantle was inherited by his son, Robert Cecil, who had previously been appointed Secretary of State in 1590. Elizabeth became somewhat unpopular because of her practice of granting royal monopolies, the abolition of which Parliament continued to demand. In her famous "Golden Speech", Elizabeth promised reforms. Shortly thereafter, twelve royal monopolies were ended by royal proclamation, and further sanctions were made available through the courts of common law. These reforms, however, were only superficial, and the practice of d ...

| | | | Lord Keeper of the Great Seal: Encyclopedia II - Lord Chancellor - Judicial functions The Lord Chancellor performs several different judicial roles. He may participate in judicial sessions of the House of Lords, and is a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. (Former Lord Chancellors under the age of seventy-five years may do the same.) The Lord Chancellor is the President of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, and therefore supervises the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, the High Court of Justice of England and Wales and the Crown Court of England and Wales. He is also, ex officio, a judge in ...
