Note

Based on ODNB entries, it would appear that our list for the early Tudor period, at least, is actually the list of great masters of the household, rather than Lord Chamberlains. The ODNB article on William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester, here listed as Lord Chamberlain from 1535 to 1550, indicates that he was actually Great Master of the Household. The article on Henry Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, indicates that Arundel was the actual Lord Chamberlain for the last years of Henry and the early years of Edward VI. I'm not sure how to deal with this... john k 05:48, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Where does our list come from? Proteus (Talk) 10:05, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it derives from Haydn's Book of Dignities. john k 07:37, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So, I suppose, the question is who do we trust more, the ODNB or Haydn? Proteus (Talk) 22:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would say the ODNB, which seems to know what it's talking about. john k 18:03, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This BBC News article mentions a Lord Chamberlain in Tonga. Since this article already has mention of a Danish equivalent, the article should be disambiguated to "Lord Chamberlain (UK)", as is the Wikipedia custom, so that positions of this name in other countries can be covered in their own articles. 86.136.215.124 22:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship

The article presently reads that "[f]rom 1737 until 1968, the Lord Chamberlain also had the role of licensor of plays...". The article on John Gay's opera Polly says the Lord Chamberlain intervened to stop its production, and that was in 1729. When did the jurisdiction over theatres begin?

The censorship became law in 1713. The regulations were made harder in 1737 (in fact there had been some kind of censorship already before enacting the law).

P.S.: Reiner Lehberger himself referred to Phyllis Hartnoll, The Oxford Companion to the Theatre, London 1972, p. 247−50. ----141.13.170.175 (talk) 08:41, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wording

How can a play be prosecuted? 174.57.203.45 (talk) 01:11, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reward for duties

Is the Lord Chamberlain a paid position? It would be interesting to know what the salary is, if anything. 129.173.55.207 (talk) 20:09, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

As part of my graduate level Global Theater History class I've been assigned to update this article. I'm new to the wikipedia editing process so if I do anything incorrectly please let me know. My addition to the article will focus on beefing up the Theatre Censorship portion. If you have suggestions please send them my way! I look forward to working with you all.

Best,
