The meaning and "use of": seneschal

noun
  • the steward or major-domo of a medieval great house. - Originally purely a household officer, the task of the steward, or seneschal , was to place dishes on the royal table, but like many comparable offices it gathered other duties and rose in prestige.
  • a governor or other administrative or judicial officer. - ‘Death by hanging, your Majesty,’ the seneschal immediately responded, a grave tone to his rich voice.
