Chief Equerry and Clerk Marshal

The Clerk Marshal (also spelled Clerk Martial) was an official of the British Royal Household in the department of the Master of the Horse. From the Restoration the office was held with that of Avenor until the latter post was abolished in 1793. The office of Clerk Marshal was then combined with that of First or Chief Equerry until 1874. From 1841 the holder was a member of the Government, but the office ceased to be a political one from 1866.

The duties of the Clerk Marshal were to swear in the officers of the Master of the Horse's department, and for the payment of all officers and servants. He was also responsible for submitting the accounts of the department to the Board of Green Cloth. Clerks Marshal were appointed in the households of other members of the Royal Family as well.
