Marshal of the Court (Romania)

The Marshal of the Royal Court and Household of Romania (Romanian: Mareșalul Curții și al Casei Regale a României) was the highest official in the Royal Court of Romania. The Marshal was appointed by the monarch and was directly responsible for the organization and affairs of the court. The function was dissolved on 30 December 1947, when Romania became a republic.

The most famous officeholder was general Constantin Sănătescu, who, during the Royal Coup of 23 August 1944, became Prime Minister of Romania.
