O QUE SIGNIFICA WOOLSACK EM INGLÊS

Woolsack

Woolsack

O Woolsack é a sede do Lord Speaker na Câmara dos Lordes, a Câmara Alta do Parlamento do Reino Unido. No século XIV, o rei Eduardo III ordenou que o seu Lord Chanceler, enquanto estava em conselho, deveria sentar-se em uma bala de lã, agora conhecida como "The Woolsack", para simbolizar a natureza central e a enorme importância do comércio de lã para a economia da Inglaterra em a idade média. Na verdade, foi em grande parte para proteger as principais rotas comerciais de lãs inglesas com a Europa continental que a Batalha de Crécy foi travada com os franceses em 1346. Desde a Idade Média até 2006, o presidente da Câmara dos Lordes era o Lord Chanceler e Woolsack foi geralmente mencionado em associação com o cargo de Lord Chancellor. Em julho de 2006, a função de Lord Speaker foi dividida da do Senhor Chanceler. O Woolsack é uma grande almofada de lã ou assento coberto com pano vermelho; Não tem uma volta nem braços, embora no centro do Woolsack haja um descanso. O Mace dos Lordes é colocado na parte traseira do Woolsack. Em 1938, descobriu-se que o Woolsack estava, de fato, cheio de crinas de cavalo.

The Woolsack is the seat of the Lord Speaker in the House of Lords, the Upper House of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. In the 14th century King Edward III commanded that his Lord Chancellor whilst in council should sit on a wool bale, now known as "The Woolsack", in order to symbolise the central nature and huge importance of the wool trade to the economy of England in the Middle Ages. Indeed, it was largely to protect the vital English wool trade routes with continental Europe that the Battle of Crécy was fought with the French in 1346. From the Middle Ages until 2006, the presiding officer in the House of Lords was the Lord Chancellor and the Woolsack was usually mentioned in association with the office of Lord Chancellor. In July 2006, the function of Lord Speaker was split from that of Lord Chancellor. The Woolsack is a large, wool-stuffed cushion or seat covered with red cloth; it has neither a back nor arms, though in the centre of the Woolsack there is a back-rest. The Lords' Mace is placed on the rear part of the Woolsack. In 1938, it was discovered that the Woolsack was, in fact, stuffed with horsehair.
