Royal treasurer (Kingdom of Hungary)

The royal treasurer, or simply treasurer, also royal purse-bearer (Hungarian: kincstartó; Latin: thesaurarius), was an official in the Hungarian royal court, existed around from the 1320s to the 16th century. The position evolved from the royal dignity of Master of the treasury (Hungarian: tárnokmester; Latin: magister tavarnicorum regalium), which gradually adopted more and more judiciary functions over the centuries, thus the newly established royal treasurer put in charge of collecting and administering royal revenues in practice.
