It will probably shock you but that isn’t the right answer.

Is it something crusadery? That was happening around that time or something involving the Mongol invasion? (Note i get my historical accuracy from playing total war games so i may be way out here)

Neither the crusades nor Mongol invasions are involved.

That one dates from 1066 in England, and incidentally the date for the creation of the role in question is also in England, though it now covers all of the UK.

The chief royal heraldry officer in Scotland.
The Keeper of the Privy Purse? .... following King John's loss of his treasure in the Wash. (Presumably he forgot to empty his pockets before putting his trousers in the machine!

I thought King John died in 1215 - so would be Henry 3rd.The Keeper of the Privy Purse? .... following King John's loss of his treasure in the Wash. (Presumably he forgot to empty his pockets before putting his trousers in the machine!

Yeah....but with government bureaucracy, consultations with the unions, etc. it could easily have taken six years to set it all up!

Neither Keeper of the Privy Purse nor any form of clergy.
If it helps anyone Henry III would have been the reigning monarch.

Assuming you mean Chancellor of the Exchequer then yes.
You may now tax us with another question.

Sorry in advance for my style of question but what induced my train of thought if I said “Sprig of Broom”?

Geoffrey Plantagenet springs to mind, supposedly he wore one in his cap, or something like that.
His son Henry became Henry II the first Plantagenet monarch.

Correct - sprig of broom - Latin Planta Genista - and the previous question was in the Plantagenet dynasty era hence my gain of thought. Your turn to be a ruler and set the next question

Which monarch, when their name is anglicised, had the surname MacFinlay?
I'd say Finn McCool / Fionn mac Cumhaill; but I don't think he was real.

Real or not it isn't the right answer I'm afraid.

Macbeth.

It is indeed Macbeth.
People sat Shakespeare did a hatchet job on Richard IiII, compared to what he did to Macbeth his treatment of Richard III looks like a positive endorsement.
