The '''Chancellor of Albeinland''' (officially as '''First Lord Chancellor of Albeinland''') is the {{wp|head of government}} of the [[Albeinland|Kingdom of Albeinland]]. The Chancellor is appointed by the [[Monarchy of Albeinland|monarch]] after {{wp|General election|general elections}} or after the resignation or incapacitation of the former occupant of the office, being responsible for leading the government through a [[Politics of Albeinland|cabinet]]. Generally, the leader of the largest party in the Parliament is the Chancellor of the country, although it's not an official rule.
{{Politics of Albeinland|state=collapsed}}
The '''Chancellor of Albeinland''', officially the '''First Lord Chancellor of Albeinland''', is the {{wp|head of government}} of [[Albeinland]]. The Chancellor is appointed by the [[Monarchy of Albeinland|monarch]] after general elections or after the resignation or incapacitation of the former occupant of the office, leading both the executive and legislative with their [[Cabinet of Albeinland|Cabinet]] with its actions being accountable to the monarch and the [[Royal Assembly of Albeinland|Royal Assembly]]. The current holder of the office is [[Vincent Lloyd]] who was appointed by the [[Catherine II of Albeinland|Queen]] on 12 November 2018.


The Chancellor's office has its origins in the [[Albish Unification Wars|unification of the Albish Kingdoms]] in the 11th century. As the monarch frequently leaves the capital [[Castelby]] due the wars, a council of nobles was set up to administer the kingdom in its absence, giving rise to the modern [[Parliament of Albeinland]], being divided by a [[House of Commons of Albeinland|low chamber]] and a [[House of Lords of Albeinland|high chamber]]. As a way of organize the ever-growing parliament, the First Lord Advisor office was established in 1379, in which would represent the parliamentary will and assist the monarch in the political and military command of the country.
The origins of the office of Chancellor begins with the creation of the [[Royal Assembly of Albeinland#History|King's Council]] - the first legislative body of Albeinland who was composed by peers, commoners and the clergy with the role of advise the sovereign actions and govern the country in cases of war or regency. Disputes between the King's Council and the sovereign led to the [[Albish Revolution]] in 1663 and consequently the constitutionalist rebel victory two years later. The office was established by the [[Common Charter of Albeinland|Common Charter]] as First Lord Chancellor due to the necessity of reform, with [[Thomas Powell]] being the first holder of the post.


After the [[Lavender Revolution|constitutionalist victory]] in 1655, the Oxfords - a political group that advocated a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}} in which the monarch should have limited powers - had absolute control of the parliament during the first elections after the revolution, becoming necessary a reform in the office. The Lord Chancellor's post was created in the same year, this time being elected through a session in which the members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords meet, with the winner of the election having its post rectified by the monarch.
Some privileges are given to the Chancellor due to its national importance such as the official residence of [[9 Loegria Street]] in [[Castelby]] and a high salary. Due to the important position that Albeinland holds in the Astyrian geopolitical scenario, the incumbent of the office is considered one of the most powerful and influential people in the [[Lorecian Community]] and [[Lorecia]] in general.
 
Over the time, the position undergone several changes in relation to its power and functions, but remained one of the most important political posts of the country. Until the second half of the 18th century, however, the Chancellor's office was limited only to the political class and {{wp|nobility}} of Albeinland, as it was elected through an {{wp|Indirect election|indirect parliamentary election}}, with the majority of the population not being able to vote on account of a {{wp|Suffrage#Census_suffrage|censitary voting system}}. It was only in 1872 through an electoral reform that instituted the {{wp|Universal manhood suffrage|universal male suffrage}} to elect both the members of the House of Commons and the Chancellor, changing from an office reserved only for the political elite to a more popular position.
