CHAMBERLAIN , in See also:England, a functionary who must be carefully distinguished from the lord chamberlain; he is one of the great See also:officers of See also:state, whose See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office See also:dates from See also:Norman times; and the only one who still holds it under a creation of that See also:period. As his name implies, he was specially connected by his duties with the See also:- KING

king's chamber (See also:camera See also:curie); but this phrase was also used to denote the king's privy See also:purse, and the chamberlain may be considered as originally the See also:financial officer of the See also:household. But as he was always a great See also:baron, deputies performed his financial See also:work, and his functions became, as they are now, mainly ceremonial, though the See also:emblem of his office is still a See also:key. The office had been held by See also:Robert See also:Malet, son of a leading See also:companion of the Conqueror, but he was forfeited by See also:- HENRY

Oxford, and the earls held the office, with some intermission, till 1526, when the then earl See also:left See also:female heirs. His See also:heir-male succeeded to the earldom, but the See also:crown, as is now established, denied his right to the office, which was thenceforth held under grants for See also:life till See also:Queen See also:Mary and See also:Elizabeth admitted in See also:error the right of the earls on the strength of their own allegation. So matters continued till 1626, when an. earl died and again left an heir-male and an heir-female. After an historic contest the office was adjudged to the former, Lord See also:Willoughby d'Eresby. No further question arose till 1779, when his heirs were two sisters. In 178-1 the See also:House of Lords decided that it belonged to them jointly, and that they could appoint a See also:deputy, which they did. Under a See also:family arrangement the heirs of the two sisters respectively appointed deputies in alternate reigns till the See also:death of Queen See also:Victoria, when Lord Ancaster, the heir of the See also:elder, who was then in See also:possession, claimed that he, as such, had See also:sole right to the office. Lord Cholmondeley and Lord See also:Carrington as co-heirs of the younger See also:sister, opposed his claim, and the crown also claimed for itself on the ground of the See also:action taken by the king in 1526. After a See also:long and historic contest, the House of Lords (1902) declined to re-open the question, and merely re-affirmed the decision of 1781, and the office, therefore, is now vested jointly in the three peers named and their heirs.
The lord great chamberlain has See also:charge of the See also:palace of See also:Westminster, especially of the House of Lords, in which he has an office; and when the See also:sovereign opens See also:parliament in See also:person he is responsible for the arrangements. At the opening or closing of the session of parliament by the sovereign in person he disposes of the See also:sword of state to be carried by any peer he may select, and walks himself in the procession on the right of the sword of state, a little before it and next to the sovereign. He issues the tickets of See also:admission on the same occasions. He assists at the introduction of all peers into the House of Lords on their creation, and at the See also:homage of all bishops after their See also:consecration. At coronations he emerges into See also:special importance; he still asserts before the See also:court of claims his archaic right to bring the king his " See also:shirt, stockings and drawers " and to See also:dress him on See also:coronation See also:day and to receive his See also:ancient fees, which include the king's See also:bed and " See also:night robe." He also claims in error to serve the king
