[MR] What would you call......

[Fletcher Martha]

Greetings to all in the tavern,

I have been part of a discussion about unofficial
household titles.

What might you call a gentleman who is serving the
same function as a "Lady in Waiting" to the Lady of
the Household but is not an apprentice, protege, or a
squire? 

Lord in Waiting?
Attendant?
Secretary?

Thank you for your suggestions,
Martelle von Charlottenburg
