LORD HIGH CONSTABLE

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 3 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LORD HIGH CONSTABLE , in England, the seventh of the
great
  officers of state. His office is now called out of abeyance for coronations alone. The constable was originally the
commander
  of the royal armies and the master of the horse. He was also, in conjunction with the
earl
  marshal, president of the court of
chivalry
  or court of honour. In feudal times martial law was administered in the court of the lord high constable. The constableship was granted as a grand
serjeanty
  with the earldom of
Hereford
  by the empress Maud to Milo of Gloucester, and was carried by his heiress to the Bohuns, earls of
Hereford
  and Essex. Through a coheiress of the Bohuns it descended to the Staffords, dukes of Buckingham; and on the attainder of Edward Stafford, third duke of Buckingham, in the reign of
Henry
  VIII. it became merged in the crown. The Lacys and Verduns were hereditary constables of Ireland from the 12th to the 14th century; and the Hays, earls of Erroll, have been hereditary constables of
Scotland
  from early in the 14th century.
