	Marshal - LoveToKnow 1911
		The marshal, as a military leader, was originally a subordinate officer, the chief command under the king being held by the constable; but in the 12th century, though still nominally second to the constable, the marshal has come to the forefront as commander of the royal forces and a great officer of state.
		Similarly, in Scotland, the office of marischal (from the French marechal), probably introduced under David I., became in the 14th century hereditary in the house of Keith.
		In 1485 the Scottish marischal became an earl under the designation of earl-marischal, the dignity coming to an end by the attainder of George, 10th earl-marischal, in 1716.
