                  The ROYAL TREASURER (New Marian: ARANYIAZ), or officially known as the ROYAL TREASURER AND LORD BURSARS OF THE CROWN, is the ranking member who holds the authority over upholding the Kingdom’s economic affairs, second only to the Sovereign of Haense, and leads the realm as one of the Heads of Economics and first aide to the Crown in all economic manners. Historically, the Royal Treasurer is entrusted in the management of the Kingdom’s royal treasury and the Kingdom’s income index. The most likely candidate for designation has typically been from Haense’s most qualified economic scholar based on reputation. In most cases, those born of nobility have held the seat although there have been cases where members of the gentry have also held the seat.

 

                Historically, since the establishment of the position, most treasurers are attributed with extensive economic backgrounds prior to their ascension to Treasurership. The reconstruction and growth of the Kingdom’s law structure took place extensively from 329 E.S. to 360 E.S. under Sir Edvard Amador’s tenure. There has been a trend since the first Royal Treasurer where the vast majority of Royal Treasurers have belonged to certain nobilital families, from Kovachev, Amador to Barclay. As of 384 E.S., two office holders have died in office (IV and V), four under political obligations to the Crown (I, II, III and VII) and one due to sustained sickness/illness (VI).

 

               The office holder is distinguished by the scale of Treasurer Richard Steinkachel, carried only by the Royal Treasurer, and traditionally holds symbolic command over the transferal of power from treasurer to another. The reign of King Andrew III saw the creation of the office of the Royal Treasurer which has since been occupied by five different officeholders stretching across the reigns of five Haeseni monarchs. Prior to such creation, the Sovereign of Haense upheld the Kingdom’s treasury; although at times such command was entrusted to a trusted Haeseni economist. Notable office holders include Richard Steinkachel (I) and Sir Edvard Amador (IV).

    Throughout Kovachev’s tenure as Royal Treasurer, she helped maintain the Kingdom’s royal treasury both effectively and efficiently. Before long, Treasurer Kovachev willingly resigned to allow Seneschal Rennard Amador to succeed her as the Crown’s economic beneficiary.

    Ser Brandt Barclay (Common: Sir Brandon Barclay), was appointed as the fifth Royal Treasurer by King Josef I following the resignation of Treasurer Amador in 1807. Prior to his elevation as Royal Treasurer, Barclay served as an Auditor under the Office of the Treasurer. In addition to such, he oversaw the management of a number of market stalls for House Barclay. 

 

    Directly succeeding Treasurer Amador’s retirement from the Aulic government, Brandt was assigned to the position by King Josef I in 1807. Throughout the eight years that Brandt served as the fifth Royal Treasurer of Haense, he completely revitalized the Office of the Royal Treasurer, which saw the creation of a number of jobs the likes of; Kastellan of Resources, Kastellan of Trade and Kastellan of Labour. Early on in his tenure as Royal Treasurer, Brandt saw reason to dissolve the long standing Haense Fur Trading Company and to replace it by establishing the Black Crow Company. 

 

    Following the sudden death of King Josef I, Brandt continued his mission to lower taxes which heavily strengthened the Haeseni economy thricefold comparatively to the last two decades. Despite not occupying the office for long like his predecessors (Amador & Steinkachel), Barclay wasted no time in creating tradition as he organized and managed the first-ever Market Fair; notably of which saw people travel from all reaches of Almaris to attend. Prior to his death in 1815, Brandt by popular demand established the Shqiptar Guild (Workers Guild) which continues to be actively used and managed by the Office of the Royal Treasurer. Ultimately, the Office of the Royal Treasurer would remain vacant for several years until such a time where the young economics scholar Erich Barclay assumed the office in 1819 to succeed Treasurer Barclay.

POSITION VACANT, 382 - 384 E.S. | 1829 - 1831 A.H.

 

Marked by the government suffering from financial stability which sparked the value of the Krawn to drastically decrease, inflation to rise and taxes to skyrocket to heights never seen in a Haense post-independence. As a result of such, the position of Royal Treasurer remained temporarily managed by trusted economics until such a time where a suitable long-term replacement could be officially assigned to the position officially by the Aulic Government. In the year 1831, former Grand Maer Otto Barbanov-Morovar was assigned as an interim replacement.
