  1. Seneschal in Scandinavia

    Seneschal of the Realm, Riksdrots, Rigsdrost, or Valtakunnandrotsi is a Danish and Swedish name of a supreme state official, with at least a connotation to administration of judiciary, who in medieval Scandinavia was often a leader in the government. The word drots/drost seems to be of German origin and means a steward or a leader of the household; in Dutch language however, a drost or drossaard was a historical kind of bailiff in parts of the Low Countries. During the Scandinavian Early Middle Age it developed into an even more powerful political position. The drots was responsible of administering royal justice. Other powers easily became added to the position. The Lord High Constable and Lord High Chancellor were the other officers that sometimes held the premiership. The Drots held the privilege to be the Regent during a minority or absence of the king. Quite often, the drots acted as a kind of a ”prime minister” who was the king’s substitute and at least officially had leadership over other officials. Less powerful holders of the office of drots often went into the background in favour of the chancellors or other high officers of state.
