Comment

The early Capetian kings settled their personal affairs themselves, using a chancellor and four Ministers of the King's Household: the Seneschal, the Constable, the Grand Bouteiller and the Grand Chambrier. The Grand Bouteiller managed the royal treasury with the Grand Chambrier. Under Philip IV, the Chambre des Comptes was created, and in 1311, the Superintendent of Finances was assisted by a Treasurer. Nevertheless, the Royal Treasury and the Public Treasury continued to merge until the reign of Charles V. Under Charles VII, the number of Treasurers was increased to four, and they were responsible for drawing up the revenue budget. Under François I, the kingdom was divided into sixteen jurisdictions, each headed by a Receiver General and centralized by a Treasurer of Savings.
