Master of The Horse

By Crusader1307

Created possibly around 1360 under the Reign of England's King Edward III, The Master of The Horse was earlier called the “Horsthegn” (from The Saxon). It was occupied by a Nobleman. It was The Master of The Horse's responsibility to care for a King or Queen's principle horse (most trusted and used). The Master of The Horse would accompany The Sovereign when he or she rode. The position now is considered ceremonial.
