Earl Marshal in United States
Earl Marshal Definition
An officer who formerly was of great repute in England. He held the court of chivalry alone as a court of honor, and, in connection with the lord high constable, as a court having criminal jurisdiction. 3 Bl. Comm. 68; 4 Bl. Comm. 467. The duties of the office now are restricted to the settlement of matters of form merely. It would appear, from similarity of duties, and from the derivation of the title, to be a relic of the ancient office of alderman of all England. See “Alderman.”
