Maid of the Bedchamber (original) (raw)
A Maid of the Bedchamber (Danish: Kammerfrøken; German: Kammerfräulein; Russian: Kammer-devitsa; Swedish: Kammarfröken) was a court office for a lady-in-waiting in several European courts. The office was that of maid of honour of higher rank, or a senior maid of honour. While there was normally several maids of honour (Danish: Hoffrøken; German: Hoffräulein; Swedish: Hovfröken), there was normally only one Maid of the Bedchamber. She was in rank between the maids of honour and the married ladies-in-waiting.

As the German court model originally included only a Chief Court Mistress and a group of maids of honours, she was often second in rank of the ladies-in-waiting between them. The Maid of the Bedchamber was an office of high status selected from nobility. She had often been a maid of honour before she was promoted, because of birth or royal favor. Her tasks were essentially the same as the tasks of the maids of honour, though they were of higher status. In Sweden, the kammarfröken was the deputy of the överhovmästarinna whenever she was absent until the introduction of the office statsfru in 1774. As the maids of honour, a Maid of the Bedchamber retired from her office upon marriage. (en) Kammarfröken var förr en yrkesbeteckning för en anställd i "Hovfruntimret" vid de Kungliga Hovstaterna. En kammarfröken var en hovdam hos en kvinnlig medlem av ett furstehus. Hon skulle vara en ogift adlig kvinna. En kammarfröken hade högre rang än en hovfröken och hade ofta varit hovfröken innan hon blev kammarfröken. Det fanns normalt sett endast en kammarfröken vid samma hovstat, medan det däremot fanns många hovfröknar. Fram till att tjänsten statsfru infördes 1774, var kammarfröken den som ersatte överhovmästarinnan när denna var frånvarande: därefter tillföll detta någon av statsfruarna. Tjänsten upphörde automatiskt vid giftermål. Ett undantag då det gäller civilstånd var Anna Maria Clodt, som behöll sin tjänst som hovfröken även efter sitt giftermål, därefter befordrades till kammarfröken och behöll även denna tjänst som gift. Kammarfröknar kallades fram till reformen av hovstaten 1719 för kammarjungfrur. (sv) |
