Stratarches Stratarches ( , pl . στρατάρχαι ( archaic ) or στρατάρχες ( modern ) ) , means " ruler of the army " in Greek , and is a title associated with successful generals . In modern Greek usage , it corresponds to the rank of Field Marshal . The term originated in the Byzantine Empire , where , in the 9th to 11th centuries , the " stratarchai " were a class of senior officials in charge of military finances and administration , including the " hetaireiarches " ( commander of the mercenary guards ) , the " droungarios " of the Imperial Fleet , the " logothetes ton agelon " who supervised the army ' s horse - breeding farms , the " komēs tou staulou " ( Count of the Stable ) and the " protospatharios " of the " basilikoi anthropoi " . By the late 11th century , this technical meaning was forgotten , and the term " stratarches " , along with variants such as " megas stratarches " and " panstratarches " , came to be used as an honorific epithet for important generals . In this use it is for instance used to describe the famed literary hero Digenis Akritas , or famous past commanders , such as Belisarius . In modern Greek history , the title ( modern phonetic transliteration : " stratarchis " ) retains the latter connotation , and was used unofficially during the Greek War of Independence for the two most successful Greek field commanders : Theodoros Kolokotronis in the Morea ( Peloponnese ) and Georgios Karaiskakis in Central Greece . Since then it has usually been used to render in Greek the rank and dignity of Field Marshal . In this capacity , the rank was first awarded to King Constantine I in 1913 , following the victorious Balkan Wars . It was awarded again to his son , King George II , in 1939 , and was held by his successors up to the abolition of the Greek monarchy in 1974 . Apart from the reigning monarchs , only two professional officers have been awarded the rank : Lieutenant General Theodoros Grivas was bestowed the rank on 23 October 1862 for his leadership in the revolt that led to the ousting of King Otto , but died the following day , before it could be conferred to him in person , and General Alexandros Papagos , who was awarded it on 28 October 1949 in recognition of his services during the Greco - Italian War and the Greek Civil War . It is also notable that up to 1970 and again with the exception of Papagos , the rank of full ( four - star ) general ( " Stratigos " ) was also reserved for royal family members . The rank of " Stratarchis " has not been retained by the current Third Hellenic Republic .

Historically , this fortress was one of the most important strongholds of Denmark . The castle was for five years ( 1568 – 1573 ) the prison of James Hepburn , 4th Earl of Bothwell , third husband of Mary , Queen of Scots . The earl was taken into custody on the orders of the Protestant Danish king Frederick II of Denmark when his ship ran aground in Bergen , Norway during a storm .
