It would be clarifying if anyone could say how the commission of treasury is related to the lord hig treasurer. I understand it is a council, with different obligations. How is it related to the king? Does the commisson have obligations that counter or help the lord high treasurer?

Who is "General Edward Montagu" (listed in the 1660 commission, shortly after the Restoration)? By 1660, Edward Montagu, 2nd Earl of Manchester was a peer (and he would probably have been called by his peerage). The other Edward Montagu—Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich—makes more sense, but Lord Sandwich was an admiral, not a general. [1] notes the commissioner's name as "Montagu, Sir E.," so I seem to lean toward the latter. ugen64 06:45, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'd imagine it's Sandwich - I'd think military ranks in the 17th century were somewhat fluid. But I'm not sure. john k 08:50, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Would anyone seriously object if I divided this further into sections based on ministry? It's awfully hard to edit at the moment. Mackensen (talk) 02:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
