The "alferado" or "majordomo" is responsible for the expenses of the feast.
The administration was confided to a majordomo, who was steward, prefect of discipline, and librarian, but under the supervision of a council.
One butler held the post of majordomo simultaneously, as evidenced by a charter of 1072.
The majordomo referred to in the surviving "fuero" may have been a local estate manager rather than the count's household official.
He lives alone in a mansion, with only his butler and majordomo for company.
His function at the court was essentially that of a majordomo, exclusively overseeing domestic palace affairs.
The "alfrez" was generally the next highest-ranking official after the majordomo.
The latter often played a role analogous to that of a majordomo or vizier in later times.
