TWENTY-ONE Coronation List to Include Official Warrior for Queen THURSDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 26. 1953 THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1953 WS ARE By ROBERT F. S. JONES London (JP) Just for coronation day, Queen Elizabeth II will have an official champion ready to fight anyone who challenges her right to the throne.

And in theory, she will also have a lord high constable to command her army, and a lord lit -1 high steward to help her run the country. In practice, of course, the trio ii will do nothing of the sort.

Dymoke, slim, shy and bespectacled, gets his hereditary job of queen's champion as head of the Dymoke family. Dymokes have been royal champions since 1377, when Richard II hit on the brilliant idea of getting someone else to do the fighting for him.

It was a signal honor in those days, when kings were touchy about who they allowed near their royal person. It's been a sinecure job-Mio one has ever publicly contested any monarch's right to the throne on coronation day but until 120 years ago the Dymokes always dressed for the part. Clad in their best armor and mounted on their fiercest war-horse, they would clatter into Westminister Hall where coronation banquets were once held hurl down a mailed gauntlet, and JUNKET Rennet Powder Pkg. 11C BEECH-NUT BABY FOOD FRESH STAR KIST TUNA Manhattan Style CLAM CCi CHOWDER Jo, Fried, Golden lb.

This job came to an abrupt halt in the days of Queen Anne, who was reportedly extremely annoyed when the lord great chamberlain of the day arrived in her bedroom on coronation morn and announced his intention of dressing her. Nominally, the office is hereditary, but is claimed equally by Lords Lancaster, Cholmondeley and Carrington. To save undignified squabbles, the three families agreed some years ago to take the job in turn. For this reign, the 70-year-old Lord Cholmondeley is lord great chamberlain.

The lord high chancellor is the only great officer of state still retaining his political powers. He represents law, justice is "keeper of the king's conscience" and is the monarch's chief legal advisor.

In two more cases the earl marshal and the great chamberlain the post have been whittled down to a fraction of their former importance. Duties Ceremonial At one time the earl marshal was the lord hfgh steward's deputy, responsible for internal law and order. Today, his duties are purely ceremonial and concerned mainly with stage managing coronations and royal funerals and with running the royal college of heralds, where armorial bearings and family trees are kept. The office, first created in the 14th Century, has been hekl for the last 300 years or so by the Dukes of Norfolk. The office of lord great chamberlain dates back to Norman times.

In those days the lord great chamberlain used to be the monarch's financial wizard, responsible for keeping the royal coffers filled. 1 His duties gradually fell to his deputy, the lord chamberlain in these days the man who runs the monarch's household.
