The title was granted by the Shahanian emperors to friends and family. The title was briefly called Seneschal during the reign of Shahan III. Charles, the Marquis of Donnauberg, a close friend of Jay II was granted the office and the baton by the Emperor, he did not pass any acts and was known as a very inactive Chancellor. His successor Patrick Deshault was a commoner who was granted the title by Shahan III, he passed 3 acts.
