an equerry to the Queen
Canadian equerries are also sometimes appointed to serve national representatives of the country.
The permanent equerry is an officer of major rank or equivalent, recruited from the three armed services in turn.
As the role of equerry grew and the stables reached 300 horses, as well as state carriages and sleighs, the buildings became inadequate.
The state equerry is a government position which oversees activities related to the horses of a region.
Many previous equerries have gone on to reach high rank.
Henry seems to have rejoined the court, became an equerry, was knighted in 1684, and became sergeant porter to the king.
