Lord High Steward
Lord High Chancellor - custodian of the Great Seal of the Realm
Lord High Treasurer - Head of HM Treasury
Lord President of the Council - presiding officer of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council and member of cabinet
Lord Privy Seal - responsible for the monarch's personal "privy" seal
Lord Great Chamberlain - charge over the Palace of Westminster and the House of Lords; bearer of the Sword of State at state openings and closings of Parliament
Lord High Constable
Earl Marshal
Lord High Admiral - commander of the Royal Navy

Are these officers of england represented in chivarly

like as ancillaries or traits

I think it would be intresting & very in debt ( eb style) if these officers could be represented in the game aswell as other officers for diffrent kingdoms....

Some, but not all are. Some just wouldnt make sense for the game though, such as lord privy seal.

Some of them make no sense for the timeframe of Chivalry (AD 1072 - 1222). England is Norman-England under William the Conquerer and his dynasty in this mod, just conquered or still in the phase of subjugation. There is nothing of cabinet, parliament and admirality/royal navy.

P.S. Chiv has a vast amount of titles in ancs and traits for all factions, it's partly to find in the previews of the last year (links in the main release thread).

So basically, the ones for england in the game are Lord High Constable, Lord High Chancellor, Lord High Steward. Correct me if im wrong, though, which I think i am about the steward. PPlus King of England and King of Scotland are in there for the English faction.

And we should add Duke of Normandy, as this realm was seperated ... Pomp Mag, where are you

Thanks for the info guys

but wasn't there some type of Great or Royal council consisting of members from the royal houshold i find it hard to belive that there was no type of advisory council to help the monarch rule.

The Witenagemot functioned as a national assembly whose primary function was advisory to the king and whose membership was composed of the most important noblemenin Anglo-Saxon England which operated from before the seventh century until the eleventh century.

But i think the Curia Regis succeeded those guys.

Btw have u ever heard of the knights of the shire's
- it is recorded that they were summond monthly or every season to advise the king on Finance & feudal taxes

:hmmm:

i think the witenagemot was a council of elders for saxon kings who elected the sucessing king which may have been one of the reasons harold godwin became king instead of william, im not entirely sure though. there is something like the knights of the shires today but they are probably just close friends of the queen rather than advisors
