I am curious as to why this page has been titled "The King's Remembrancer" when actually the role is currently of the Queen's Remembrancer. Can we get the page re-titled accurately? I appreciate that the post was originally the King's Remembrancer, but surely we should be titling it as it is, not as it was.

The Court/Division is at King's Bench rather than Queen's Bench, so this should match. Tim! (talk) 20:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As the current British monarch is female, the division concerned in the Queen's Bench Division, see Her Majesty's Court Services website. I think it depends whether we are talking about the ancient court or the current court. The ancient court had a King's Bench, which was merged into the High Courts of Justice, becoming (currently) the Queen's Bench Division. This is unlikely to change until Charles or one of his progeny succeed to the throne. I don't know whether there is a wikipedia convention on this and as there is a redirect from Queen's Remembrancer to King's Remembrancer, I don't suppose it matters, but it seemed odd.

Crowns

The third quit rent dates from 1327, and is for £11 in regard to the reserved interest of the Crown for the 'town of Southwark'. [...] This sum is rendered onto the Exchequer Cloth in the form of Crowns (5 shilling / 25 pence pieces), which remain legal tender.

The article on crowns states the the crown was revalued in 1990 to be equal to five pounds, rather than a forth of a pound. I need hardly point out that it is not possible to pay the sum of £11 in denominations of £5! However, if these £5 crowns are being used as if they were 5s/25p, then the Corporation would be paying £220 rent, not £11, as the pound sterling itself has never been revalued. Can someone cast some light on this? Are there, perhaps, still crowns of 25p face value being minted (perhaps exclusively for this ceremony) that aren't mentioned in the wikipedia article? 90.245.25.126 (talk) 04:12, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
