Historiographer Royal is the title of an appointment as official chronicler or historian of a court or monarch. It was initially particularly associated with the French monarchy, where the post existed from at least the mid 15th century,[1] but in the later 16th and 17th centuries became common throughout Europe.[2] The Historiographer Royal for Scotland is still an existing appointment.
