The Great Officers of the Realm (Swedish: ''De högre riksämbetsmännen'') were the five leading members of the Swedish Privy Council from the later parts of the 16th century to around 1680. With the constitution of 1634, the five officers became heads of five different branches of government (Swedish: ''kollegium''). The same constitution also declared that the great officers were to act as regents during the minorities of kings or regnal queens. All great officers of the realm were abolished by king Carl XI of Sweden. The Lord High Steward and the Lord High Chancellor offices were revived in the late 18th century, but were soon removed again. ==The five great officers== The great officers were, in order of a ranking which was established in 1634, the following: # Lord High Steward (or Lord High Justiciar) (Swedish: ''Riksdrots'') # Lord High Constable (Swedish: ''Riksmarsk'') # Lord High Admiral (Swedish: ''Riksamiral'') # Lord High Chancellor (Swedish: ''Rikskansler'') # Lord High Treasurer (Swedish: ''Riksskattmästare'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Officers of the Realm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
