The seneshal of France is a large officer of the Royaume of France to the Moyen-âge.
History
The Office of seneshal of France is between the X {{E}} and the 12th century the first of the Grands offices of the crown of France. In the beginning the seneshal is the chief of the Maison of the king, but its attributions exceed the domestic framework well quickly, to make of it the most powerful character of the kingdom after the sovereign. He has in particular the control of the royal armies.
This too great power of the seneshal causes the removal of the office in 1191 by the king Philippe Auguste with died of the last holder, the count Thibaut V of Blois. The capacities of the seneshal of France are then shared between the Connétable and various the Chambellan S. Thereafter, the Grand Master of France inherits many its attributions.
