Henry VIII. (1539) " for placing of the lords," he is described as " the See also:grand master or lord steward of the king's most See also:honourable household." He presides at the See also:Board of See also:Green See also:Cloth.' In his See also:department are the treasurer and See also:comptroller of the household, who rank next to him. These officials are usually peers or the sons of peers and privy councillors. They sit at the Board of Green Cloth, carry white staves, and belong to the See also:ministry. But the duties which in theory belong to the lord steward, treasurer and comptroller of the household are in practice performed by the master of the household, who is a permanent officer and resides in the See also:palace. He is a white-staff officer and a member of the Board of Green Cloth but not of the ministry, and among other things he pre-sides at the daily dinners of the See also:suite in waiting on the sovereign. In his See also:case See also:history repeats itself. He is not named in the See also:Black Book of See also:Edward IV. or in the Statutes of Henry VIII., and is entered as " master of the household and clerk of the green cloth " in the Household Book of Queen Elizabeth.

In the lord steward's department are the officials of the Board of Green Cloth, the See also:coroner (" coroner of the See also:verge " ), and pay-master of the household, and the See also:officers of the See also:almonry (see See also:ALMONER). Other offices in the department were those of the cofferer of the household, the treasurer of the chamber, and the paymaster of See also:pensions, but these, with six clerks of the Board of Green Cloth, were abolished in 1782. The lord steward had formerly three courts besides the Board of Green Cloth under him. First, the lord steward's court, superseded (1541) bysecond—the See also:Marshalsea court, a court of See also:record having See also:jurisdiction, both See also:civil and criminal within the verge (the See also:area within a See also:radius of 12 M. from where the sovereign is See also:resident), and originally held for the purpose of administering See also:justice between the domestic servants of the sovereign, " that they might not be See also:drawn into other courts and their service lost."
