| Summary, etc. | Like his contemporaries, Charles II, King of Navarre and Count of Évreux (1349–1387), controlled a household, whether in his own kingdom or in his French lands. Except for the chamber, with chamberlains at its head, it was governed by masters of the household, and consisted of five offices, a stable, a fruit store, a kitchen, and a buttery or cellar (with the marshalcy being attached to the stable), each directed by masters or esquires. Eighty-eight men holding these offices have been identified during the course of his reign, the majority of them nobles. However, their common social origin does not mean a common geographic source as Charles’s household included a much higher number of Frenchmen than Navarre men down to the end of his reign, even after his definitive settling in Navarre in 1361. However, this geographic heterogeneity did not result in the creation of distinct groups. While some French officers serving in Navarre later returned to their own estates, others settled in the kingdom, bringing their family with them or marrying Navarre wives. Meanwhile, other factors encouraged cohesion. Like the French, Navarre's people shared their master's destiny. They were his companions in arms in his wars in France in 1358 and 1359 and even earlier. At least ten of them helped??”directly or indirectly??”in his escape during the night of November 7–8, 1358, from Arleux Castle, where King John had held him prisoner since his arrest on April 5, 1356, in Rouen, as well as in the events that immediately followed. From this sprang emotional ties among these men as well as between them and Charles II, which also affected their families and children. In effect, Charles conferred posts in his household on some of them and provided material support to others. While their average length of service in the household was less than ten years (with substantial variation), their full careers spanned almost fourteen years, a decidedly lengthy period. These links between them thus translated into a long period of service both within and outside of the household as well as in terms of loyalty. Only four officers suffered later disgrace, an insignificant number. While some specialists were found in domestic offices such as the buttery, kitchen, or fruit store, and some officers exercised their talents in the households of the queen or those of the king's brothers and sister, others had careers that illustrate the fact that the king's household did not limit itself to these domestic functions but also had a military role. The king's officers took up arms if borders were threatened, the countryside was invaded, or war broke out, while some also took on responsibilities as captains. In addition, diplomacy played a part as it was in the household that princes were received, as were their ambassadors or envoys. It was there also that foreign policy was discussed and Navarre's diplomacy decided, and it was to these officers, and principally chamberlains and masters of the household, that missions as ambassadors or negotiators were entrusted. When Charles summoned his counselors to join him, council sessions were held in the heart of the household. Whether or not they were appointed as counselors, 16% of household officers and a third of chamberlains and masters of the household formed part of the governing body that surrounded Charles II. All of this underlines the importance of the royal household as a medieval institution and of the preeminent role played by its members. |
