Groom of the Stool : ウィキペディア英語版 | Groom of the Stool
The Groom of the Stool (formally styled: "Groom of the King's Close Stool") was the most intimate of an English monarch's courtiers, whose physical intimacy naturally led to him becoming a man in whom much confidence was placed by his royal master and with whom many royal secrets were shared as a matter of course. This secret information he was privy to—whilst it would never have been revealed, to the discredit of his honour—in turn led to him becoming feared and respected and therefore powerful within the royal court in his own right. The office developed gradually over decades and centuries into one of administration of the royal finances, and under Henry VII, the Groom of the Stool became a powerful official involved in setting national fiscal policy, under the "Chamber System."〔For the role of the Groom of the Stool on the fiscal policy of Henry VII see: Starkey, D. The Virtuous Prince, 2009.〕〔Re. the "Chamber System" and "Chamber Finance" see: Grummitt, D. Henry VII, Chamber Finance and the "New Monarchy": some New Evidence. Journal of the Institute of Historical Research, vol.72, no.179,pp.229-243; published on-line 2003.〕 ==History==
