[edit] Lord Chancellor and Lord High Steward
"Normally, the Lord Chancellor presides at the trial. If, however, a peer is tried for high treason, the Lord High Steward presides." According to our article Lord High Steward, if a peer was tried, a Lord High Steward was appointed to preside over the trial. This was usually the Lord Chancellor, the usual president of the House of Lords. J S Ayer (talk) 13:26, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
