2. (Eng. Hist.) Ordainers: The name applied to a commission of twenty-one barons and bishops appointed on 20 March, 1310, in the third year of Edward II, to draw up ordinances for the better administration of the kingdom.
Styled in contemporary documents in Anglo-Fr., ordinours, ordeinours; in Latin, ordinatores; but this was originally only a descriptive designation, as in sense 1, not a specific title. The English Ordainers, or Lords Ordainers of modern historians, has not been found in contemporary writings, and was apparently unknown to the 16th c. chroniclers.
