In early use referred to as Lieutenant of a county (see lieutenant n. 1c).Lord Lieutenants were first appointed under Henry VIII, in order to take over the military duties of sheriffs. In 1662 they were given full control of the militia; in 1871 these powers reverted to the Crown. Lord Lieutenants were formerly the head of the magistracy, and were typically peers. The position is now mainly ceremonial, and the chief responsibility is the organization of any royal visits to the county.
