The Chancellor of Albeinland, officially as First Lord Chancellor of Albeinland, is the head of government of the Kingdom of Albeinland. The Chancellor is appointed by the monarch after general elections or after the resignation or incapacitation of the former occupant of the office, leading both the executive and legislative together with their Cabinet, with its actions being accountable to the monarch and the Royal Assembly. The current holder of the office is Vincent Lloyd who was appointed by the 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 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. Although the council mostly was an advisory organ without any great powers, the office of First Lord Advisor was created in 1416 as a way to represent the entire parliament. Disputes between the King's Council and the sovereign lead to the Albish Revolution in 1663 and consequently the constitutionalists rebel victory two years later.  
 
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.
 
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.
