An archaic or variant spelling of chancellery; the office or residence of a chancellor, or the whole department of government.
Variant form of chancellery, from Old French chancellerie; the -ory ending is an alternative form of -ery common in older English texts, both meaning 'place of' or 'office of.'
Medieval spelling wasn't standardized, so chancellory, chancellery, and chancery were all used interchangeably—scholars had to be flexible long before spell-check existed!
