Historical background
KING'S SECRETARIES
Their function was quite similar to that of our current Secretaries of State. There is an excellent article on the subject online, taken from the Dictionnaire encyclopédique de la noblesse de France by Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais (1773-1842) — Paris, 1816 at http://www.blason-armoiries.org/feodalite -nobility/s/secretaries-of-the-king.htm.
