Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 March 2025

Debate

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

Contribution

I do not pretend to be an expert, but this sounds very much like the King is granting the rights enjoyed by the hereditary medieval barons such as Baldwin. Does this really include feudal rights of military service, to attend the Magnum Concilium, to lead lawful rebellion under Article 61—the droit de gîte and the droit de garenne? What about the droit du seigneur?
