Royal Households of the United Kingdom
Royal Households of the United Kingdom[edit]
History[edit]
Anglo-Saxon (871–1066)[edit]
Other great magnates (such as earls, bishops, and abbots) would have also spent considerable time at the royal court.[1]
Anglo-Norman period[edit]
Plantagenet period[edit]
Not in article: Not every household officer was permanently present in the household. Some officers, such as the chamberlains, served on rotation.[2]
Not in article: Under the Angevins, the Lord High Steward and Lord Great Chamberlain were the most powerful officers in the household. The Lord High Steward was in charge of provisioning the king's hall, household and eyres. He also appears to have replaced the Lord High Constable as the head of the familia militaris. The Chamber acted as the personal treasury of the monarch and also held the privy seal. The Chamber was the department responsible for sending messages to the various royal officers around the country (sheriffs, etc.) and conducting diplomacy between the Crown and the barons (it was charged with keeping baronial hostages).[3] By the time of Henry III, however, the office of Lord High Steward was without power.[4]
20th century[edit]
