The queen was thus regarded as an auxiliary of the king, who could act in place of her husband in the control and management of the royal staff. The entourage of the king lost its splendour: The responsibilities of major offices and positions were less well defined than in the Carolingian period. As we have seen, it had already existed under the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties, so it would be more appropriate to say it re-occurred.
During these two centuries, several queens left their mark on the politics of their age. The Queen offered her a vineyard near Melun. The first ordinance dealing with the responsibilities and privileges of court officers is dated The ordinance from includes measures which targeted less her household than her behaviour: St Louis forbade Marguerite de Provence to invite ladies or noble persons to join her and to prolong conversations with visitors: Equally, the King made it clear that the Queen should neither appoint royal officers, nor give them orders: She should not ask anything of, or give orders to , the Bailly, the Prevost du Roy or others who hold an office from the King, and she should not by her authority appoint anybody to Baillieships, sergeantships or any other office.

We have come a long way from the prestigious role assumed by Carolingian queens. The same instructions resurfaced sixty years later: Marie de Luxembourg remained subject to them in The meals of the entire staff were prepared by two cooks, two hasteurs , one saucier , one potier , one poulailler, one fruitier and several valets and aides. A chaplain, an almoner and a chapel cleric attended to the spiritual needs of the Queen and her servants. Her clothes were made by a tailor and a valet couturier and cleaned by two washerwomen along with the household linen.
This core staff later grew in size, despite a cut in , when Louis X decided to merge his household with that of his wife in order to limit the number of court servants. An important step was taken in with the creation of a household specifically for the royal children: In the ensuing years, royal households continued to grow, reaching their apogee in These increases did not, however, continue. In , Anne de France, duchess of Beaujeu and Bourbon, was regent of the realm. Marguerite was only four. With its ninety-four servants, its size had increased, and the number of ladies and maids of honour was once again approaching the level of A comparison between the offices in the maisons of and of show an increasing specialisation and a heightened hierarchy:.

These transformations, effected at the majority of European courts, form the context for the growth of the household of the queen, but cannot, alone, account for it: First of all, France was influenced by the Burgundian court. This polemical debate about female honour left its mark on ladies of high rank. Anne developed a form of art patronage which proved her personal commitment to enhacing the role of women and their political status Figure 1. An impressive and well staffed household was a basic requirement for this.
Fortunately, Anne had the example of a predecessor near at hand. Her views coincided with the concept of female honour and dignity held by Anne de Beaujeu, the dominant figure at the French court from to During her regency, the sister of Charles VIII had to come to terms with violent opposition from those who believed that women were incapable of ruling.

In addition to the masters of the chamber, valets, doorkeepers, pages and fourriers , there are the officers responsible for the wardrobe and tapestries masters and valets of the wardrobe, tailors, tapestry-makers.
