Cofferer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the history of the royal household of England, a cofferer was a principal officer in the court, next under the controller. In the counting-house, and elsewhere at other times, he had a special charge and oversight of other officers of the house, for their good demeanor and carriage in their offices—to all whom he paid the wages.
