Ferdinand I of Portugal
The office of Marshal of the Kingdom of Portugal ("Marechal do Reino de Portugal", sometimes "Mariscal") was created by King Ferdinand I of Portugal in 1382, in the course of the reorganization of the higher offices of the army of the Kingdom of Portugal. The Marshal was directly subordinate to the Constable of Portugal ("Condestável"), being principally responsible for the high administrative matters, including the quartering of troops, supplies and other logistical matters.
