Master of the Horse

Master of the Horse is a man employed by noblewomen and queens in nations where it is not expected for a woman to lead her own forces into battle. The Master of the Horse is often a trusted confederate of his lady or queen, with some even being suspected of having intimate relations with their mistresses. His job is to command the armies of his employer in battle, although it is assumed that ultimate authority will reside with her.
Masters of the Horse are regularly employed by female leaders in nations such as Ghealdan, Murandy, and Tear. In some nations they do not have the same purpose, as it may be more acceptable for women to command her own forces, or it may be rarer for women to rule in the first place.
Lady Anaiyella Narencelona had a Master of the Horse, but he was killed during a skirmish with the Seanchan.
