Code entry
Proprietary offices were politically attributed to royal favor and legitimized by royal titles, but the king had less and less to do with appointments. His rights of patronage were gradually alienated until all that remained as a royal prerogative was enforcing the contract. The complete contract between the king and his proprietor was contained in several documents: licenses, instructions, titles, and bond. (Bushnell KC)
