First Waiter of the Robes In Ordinary to George II 1740
« on: Tuesday 02 January 24 19:33 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone able to shed light on what the above may actually have entailed for someone who was appointed to this role please?  Would it have meant that he was a courtier?  Would he have had a role to play in providing the King's clothing?  Or something else?

Looking forward to learning more.
