The Buckhounds 1660-1837 Hunting, Sporting and Gaming Establishment: The Buckhounds 1660-1837 The master of the buckhounds was appointed by royal warrant.1 Cary’s appointment in 1660 was embodied in letters patent under the great seal but this course was not followed in subsequent cases.2 The office was left vacant between 1702 and 1709 (when it was transferred to the establishment of Prince George of Denmark) and between 1715 and 1727. Under Charles II, the master received an allowance of £2,248 to share with the sergeant and 34 huntsmen. Under William III this figure rose to £2,341 but this was reduced to £1,100 between 1709 and 1712.3 The sergeant made £200 per annum, huntsmen £40 per annum apiece in 1689.4 1.

    THE LORD SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS - BRIEFING Why did the House of Lords elect a Speaker?

The House of Lords appointed a select committee on the Speakership of the House in 2003 and again in 2005, both chaired by Lord Lloyd of Berwick.

  • Household of James Duke of York
    Household of James, Duke of York 1660-1685 The household of James, Duke of York and associated households of family members were paid for out of his vast annual revenue, estimated by contemporaries to have ranged between £100,000 and £150,000. In fact, early in the reign of his brother, in 1663, his annual revenue amounted to only £47,000, which was inadequate to pay for a household costing £75,000 per annum. This forced a retrenchment to an annual establishment of £60,000. But later in the reign, his revenue grew with the national economy. It included over £20,000 per annum (surrendered to the King in exchange for £24,000 per annum in 1663) out of the Wine Licenses and anywhere from £24,000 to £60,000 per annum from the Post Office revenues, plus his profits from the Court of Admiralty (in addition to one tenth of all prize money) as lord admiral, additional occasional grants, and the revenues from lands awarded to him from executed regicides and traitors in England and Ireland.1 1.

  • Queen Victoria Transcript
    Queen Victoria Transcript Date: Tuesday, 20 September 2016 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 20 September 2016 Queen Victoria Professor Vernon Bogdanor FBA CBE Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first of a series of six lectures on British sovereigns since Queen Victoria, and it will conclude next summer with a lecture on the Queen. My aim in these lectures is to try to answer two questions: the first is how our system of constitutional monarchy has evolved since the 19th Century; and the second is what is the role of constitutional monarchy in a modern democratic state. This first lecture is on Queen Victoria, but first, I have a confession to make because I fear I cannot possibly compete with the television series, which seems to have transfixed the nation, and soon we will know every detail of the Queen’s private life in the early years of her reign, but I cannot help feeling that the television series is not really about Victoria, Queen of England and Empress of India, but about an entirely different character – Victoria, the telly star – and indeed, I sometimes felt as if I had intruded upon an episode of Downton Abbey by mistake! I suspect that Queen Victoria would have responded to the series by using words often attributed to her, but which she never in fact used, the words being “We are not amused.” But whether that is right or not, I fear there will be nothing in this lecture on the Queen’s love life, about which I know nothing. Instead, I will concentrate on a theme which I am sure you will all find much more exciting, namely, the constitution! In June 1837, a young girl of 18 was woken at Kensington Palace and told by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chamberlain that her uncle, William IV, was dead and that she was to be Queen of Britain, or England as the Victorians used to call it, ignoring the susceptibilities of the Scots, Welsh and Irish.

  • Queen Victoria's Medical Household
    Medical History, 1982,26:307-320. QUEEN VICTORIA'S MEDICAL HOUSEHOLD by A. M. COOKE* On the 24th of May, 1819, at Kensington Palace it was announced that: Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was safely delivered of a Princess this morning at a quarter past five o'clock. Her Royal Highness and the Princess are doing well. D. D. Davis J. Wilson DRS. DAVIS AND WILSON were the first of a long line of medical men who attended, or were appointed to attend, Queen Victoria throughout her lifetime of nearly eighty-two years. Also assisting at the birth was a midwife, Friaulein Siebold, who, although she also held a medical qualification, did not sign the bulletin. It is an interesting coincidence that the Frilulein also attended at the birth of Prince Albert. We do not know what other medical attendants Victoria had as a child or before she came to the throne, but we know the medical staff of her father and mother. When ill, doubtless she would have been attended by one of them. Date ofdeath David Daniel Davis Attended Queen 1841 James Wilson 841 Friulein Siebold ) Victoria's birth 9 William George Maton 1835 John Merriman (Apothecary) 1839 Sir Joseph de Courcy Laffan, Bt. 1848 Sir Robert Alexander Chermside 1860 Richard Blagden 1861 James Clark 1870 As a girl Victoria was kept strictly under her mother's thumb, was told that she was inexperienced and immature, and that she would require much help when she came to the throne. This is thought to have been part of a plan by her mother and her mother's Comptroller, Sir John Conroy, to make her mother Regent.
