Encyclopedia > Earl Marischal

In Scotland, the office of Great Marischal of Scotland, which was granted to the Keith family as Knight Marischal and later on changed to Lord Marischal and later on again to Earl Marischal of Scotland, died out when a member of the family of Keith forfeited it by being part of the 1715 rebellion.

Marshal - LoveToKnow 1911 (1108 words)
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.
