lord paramount
Paramount (derived from the Anglo-French word ''paramont'', which means ''up above'', or ''par a mont'', meaning ''up or on top of the mountain'') is the highest authority, or that being of the greatest importance. The word was first used as a term of feudal law, of the overlord, the lord paramount, who held his fief from no superior lord, and was thus opposed to ''mesne lord'', one who held from a superior. To those who held their fiefs from one who was not a ''lord paramount'' was given the correlative term paravail, (from ''par d val'', meaning ''in the valley''). The word was confused by English lawyers with "avail," help, assistance, profit, and applied to the actual working tenant of the land, the lowest tenant or occupier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author=Sir William Searle )〕
A well-documented example of paramountcy is the Lordship of Bowland. In 1311, it was subsumed as part of the Honour of Clitheroe into the Earldom of Lancaster. After 1351, it was administered as part of the Duchy of Lancaster, with the Duke (from 1399, the Sovereign) acknowledged lord paramount over the Forest of Bowland and the ten manors of the Liberty of Bowland. As lord paramount, he was styled ''Lord King of Bowland''.〔(Cambridge History of the Lordship of Bowland )〕
The Marquess of Exeter is hereditary Lord Paramount of Peterborough.
