² Compare ‘Book of the Court’, p.65, for the legal position of an English queen consort: ‘But in general, unless where the law has expressly declared her exempted, she (the Queen) is upon the same footing with her subjects, being to all intents and purposes the King’s subject and not his equal’. Compare *ibid*, pp. 80-1, how the ‘care and approbation of His Majesty’s grand-children, when grown up’, was until 1718 a disputed question, when George I submitted it to the opinion of the Judges, which brought about the enactment of the Royal Marriage Act some time later. Compare numerous references to petitions in Gulbadan.
