# Court Marshal of Denmark

The Marshal of the Court of Denmark (Danish: Hofmarskal; officially translated as lord chamberlain) is Chief Administrative Officer of the Royal Household of Denmark. The court marshal is the chief executive of finance, staff, official duties, etc. and heads the court marshal's office. This role traditionally fell to the Lord Marshal of the Court (Danish: Overhofmarskal), but this title is no longer used, and all the responsibilities associated with the title have been allocated to the Marshal of the Court.
