Officers of the Principality of Antioch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Principality of Antioch mirrored the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem in its selection of great offices: constable, marshal, seneschal, chamberlain, butler, chancellor and at certain times also bailiff.

The officers of the Principality of Antioch are listed below. Dates are dates of attestation, not necessarily beginning and end dates of tenure.

Constable

According to Claude Cahen, there were usually two marshals serving concurrently.[2] Andrew Buck's listing implies otherwise.[12]
