Chairman
Of The Board
Answer
:
In Medieval Times,
many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair.
Commonly,
a long
wide
board folded down from the wall, and was used for dining.
The
'head of the
household' always sat in the chair while everyone else ate sitting on
the floor.
Occasionally
a
guest, who
was usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal.
To sit
in the chair
meant
you were important and in charge.
They
called the one
sitting in the chair the 'chair man.'
Today
in business,
we use
the expression or title 'Chairman' or 'Chairman of the Board.'
