  • Chief minister is a term used retroactively by historians to describe servants of the English monarch who presided over the government of England and, after 1707, Great Britain before 1721. Chief ministers were usually one of the great officers of state, but it was not unusual for there to be no chief minister. Under the Norman and Angevin kings, the justiciar was often chief minister. When kings left England to oversee other parts of the Angevin Empire, the justiciar functioned as his viceroy or regent. In the 13th century, after the loss of the Angevin territories in France, the justiciar's power declined as monarchs resided permanently in England. For the next three centuries, the Lord Chancellor was most often chief minister. The chancellor served as Keeper of the Great Seal, presided over the Privy Council and Parliament, and led the High Court of Chancery. After the English Reformation, the chancellor's power shifted to the Lord High Treasurer. After 1721, the office of prime minister became the head of British governments. This list of chief ministers is organised by royal dynasty. For a list of particular governments of the Kingdom of England, see List of English ministries. (en)
