From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
University of Glasgow
The Chair of Ecclesiastical History is the oldest chair of ecclesiastical history in the United Kingdom.
It was founded in 1716 by King George I of Great Britain. The Crown granted ₤100 per year for this purpose. This was, thus, a Regius Chair until constitutional arrangements in the Church of Scotland resulted in patronage being transferred to the University Court acting on a Board of Nomination consisting of representatives of the University Court and the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
