Even though Lord Lyndhurst has his various flaws, Arthur cannot deny that he is a person of extraordinary ability.
Although Lyndhurst, back then in the role of Deputy Attorney General (Royal Family Legal Advisor and King's Defense Attorney), lost that fateful duel with Lord Brougham (Queen Caroline's Defense Attorney) in the divorce case between George IV and Queen Caroline,
Lyndhurst, though losing the lawsuit, gained the gratitude of George IV and a knighthood, and a few years later was promoted to Attorney General, two years later elevated to Chief Judge in the judicial system of England and Wales, second only to the High Chancellor. And when Wellington came to power, Lyndhurst naturally took on the position of High Chancellor, becoming the highest leader of Britain's judicial department, and was conferred the title of Baron Lyndhurst of Southampton County, thus entering the House of Lords.
