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 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.
