Chief Ministers of England

Chief Ministers of England

Until 946, Kings of England ruled directly; after this date they were generally assisted in the formal functions of government by Ministers.

Periods for which no Minister's name is shown are those in which the monarch ruled personally or through mere favourites. The Chief Minister was appointed by the monarch and was responsible to him.
