[Footnote 86: The derivation is through the French from O. H. G. _marascalh_ (_marah_, horse; _scalh_, servant). Round, 84, traces an early connexion of the marshal with the stable.]
[Footnote 87: A Squire of the Body held the office of Master of the Horse in 1480 (Nicolas, _Wardrobe Accts. of Ed. IV_). The term 'Master', generally applied to heads of offices in the outer ring of the Household, does not seem to be of very early origin. It probably replaces the fourteenth-century 'Serjeant'. Sir Thomas Cawarden got a 'Mastership' of the Revels in 1544, as he 'did mislyke to be tearmed a Seriaunt because of his better countenaunce of roome and place beinge of the kinges maiesties privye Chamber' (_Tudor Revels_, 2). The Mastership of the Horse was held by Lord Robert Dudley, afterwards Earl of Leicester (11 Jan. 1559-87), Robert Earl of Essex (23 Dec. 1587-25 Feb. 1601), Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester (deputy Dec. 1597; Master 21 Apr. 1601-2 Jan. 1616), Sir George Villiers, afterwards Duke of Buckingham (3 Jan. 1616). The appointment, like that of other 'Masters', but unlike that of the Chamberlain and Steward, was by patent and carried a fee of 1,000 marks (£666 13_s._ 4_d._). Amongst the lesser Stable officers were the royal Footmen, whom we might expect to find in the Chamber.]
