One Keeper of the Vessels at 150 l. CHAP. XVI Of the Great Chamberlain and all Officers under his dependance IF the honour of Officer may be rated from the frequency and nearness of their approaches to the Kings Person then certainly the Great Chamberlain must needs have the greatest share therein of any since it is at all times in his power to be near his Majesty and that he has a very considerable Rank in all the most Magnificent Solemnities This Office is almost as ancient as the beginning of this Monarchy and one may judge of its greatness by the Nobility of the Persons that always have enjoyed it He had formerly a great Jurisdiction over the Mercers and other Trades that deal in Clothing and for that purpose he substituted under him a Surveyor of those Merchandizes who was commonly called the King of the Mercers that is to say their Syndic or Comptroller who also Examin'd the Weights and Measures of the said Merchants His Court of Justice was held at the Marble Table in the Palais or Palace at Paris by a Mayor-Judge Commissionated by the Great Chamberlain and some other Officers The Great Chamberlain was formerly of the Great Officers that Signed all Charters and Letters of Consequence and has still a Right to sit in Judgment with the King at the Tryal of any Peers He had formerly the Keeping of the Kings Coffers and Treasury in his Chamber and had the management of the Exchequer as he has to this day in several places where the Camerlingue or Chamberlain for in different places he is differently stiled is likewise Treasurer and receives all the Revenues and it belonged to him or his Under-Treasurers to carry Money about them for the Kings Liberalities and other necessary Expences He used to have for his Fee the tenth part of what came into the Kings Coffers and was wont to deal out the Annual Gratuities to the Souldiers and provide Presents for all Ambassadours He has been indifferently stiled Cubicularius Camerarius or Cambellanus that is Bedchamber Man Chamber-man or Chamberlain But the Office of Chamberlain and Chamber-man were afterward made distinct Offices as among other proofs will appear by an ancient duty upon Merchants who paid 16 pence whereof ten pence went to the Chamberlain and the other six to the Chamber-Man But the Office of Chamber-Man was supprest in the Person of Charles Duke of Orleans Anno 1544. or to speak more properly we may say that it assumed under Francis the First the present Title it is now known under of Chief Gentleman of the Bed-Chamber The present Great Chamberlain is the Duke of Boüillon who has yearly 3600 l. under the name of Wages and a Pension of 20000 l. When the King sits on his Bed of Justice or in a general Assembly of the Estates the Great Chamberlain sits at his Feet upon a Violet-Coloured Velvet Cushion Embroidered with Flower deluces of Gold He is present at all Audiences of Ambassadours where takes his Place behind his Majesties Chair of State between the Chief Gentleman of the Bed-Chamber who is on his right and the Great Master of the Wardrobe whose Place is on his left Antiently in the Queens absence he was wont to lie in the Kings Bed-Chamber Upon the Coronation-Day he takes the Royal Buskins from the Abbot of St. Denis and puts them on the Kings Legs and then invests him with the Dalmatick Robe of Azure Blue and with the Mantle Royal. As the Great Chamberlains have the honour to be nearest the sacred Persons of their Kings while they are alive so when nature has exacted from them her Tribute and they come to die they with the Chief Gentlemen of the Bed-Chamber interre their Bodies The homage done to the King by any Dukes or other Persons of higher Rank holding their Lands or Seignieuries of his Majesty was antiently performed in the Bed-Chamber whither being Conducted by the Great Chamberlain Bare-headed and without Sword Belt or Spurs and kneeling down and putting their hands between the Kings Hands they promised him Fealty and Homage Of which Ceremony we have a fair Example in Froissard in the 25th Chapter of the First Volume of his History namely in the Homage done by Edward the Third King of England to Philip de Valois to whom being brought in and in the posture as aforesaid the Great Chamberlain-tendered these words You become the Liege-Man of the King my Lord that here is as Duke of Guienne and Peer of France and you promise Fealty and Loyalty to him to bear Say Yes And the King of England as Duke of Guienne answered Yes and the King received him for his Liege-Man Thus Froissard who likewise tells us that this Homage had better have been let alone it being so Stomached by that Couragious King that it caused those long and bloody Wars between the two Nations of which all Histories resound and which are hardly yet well extinct but lie couched under Embers till opportunity shall raise them into new Flames At present when any Marshal of France Governour of a Town Place or Province or any other is to take the Oath of Fidelity to the King the Marshal or such other Person gives his Hat Gloves and Sword to the Usher of the Bed-Chamber and then advancing towards the King who expects him in his Chair of State he kneels down upon a Cushion presented him by one of the Chief Valets de Chambre and putting his Hands between his Majesties when the said Oath being read to him by the Secretary under whose Division his Place is he gives his assent in the manner aforesaid and then rising up and making Obeisance to his Majesty goes back and takes again of the Usher of the Bed-Chamber the things he left with him to whom as well as to some other Officers of the Bed-Chamber he makes an honourable Present The Great Chamberlains had formerly a Table furnished out of the Kings own Kitchin but the late Duke of Chevreuse Great Chamberlain agreed with the Masters of the Houshold to have instead of it that which is still kept by them under the Name of the
