Chamberlain
In the Holy Roman Empire and its territories, the treasurer was called the treasurer when he exercised this court office as an inheritance .
At the coronation of an emperor or Roman king , it had been the property of the Margrave of Brandenburg as an ore office since 1356 . He bore the title of Archic Chamberlain ( Archicamerarius ) and carried a golden imperial scepter in a blue field as an official sign in his coat of arms . In the course of time, the arch chamberlain was increasingly represented in his ceremonial duties by envoys or an imperial chamberlain appointed for this purpose .
