CHAPLAIN
Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1842 · p. 8
(Lat. capellanus.) Properly the minister of a chapel. The privilege which the king and nobility enjoy of appointing private chaplains arises from the ancient custom of using domestic chapels for family worship. The limitations under which this privilege may be exercised are set forth in certain statutes of Henry VIII. Under the existing law a nobleman's chaplain may hold two benefices; but the chaplain of a juiige, . only one: on which, however, he is not obliged to reside. [s. 227]
