I have added this new page, separate from Valet. If somebody really feels they should be merged, do so. I really felt like that article was more concerned with the modern use of the term and its appropriation into English, instead of the use that it has, especially amongst artists in the Burgendian court, in historical court culture. In this sense it is not a "male servant"-type position, but a newly established court title. -- Stomme ( talk) 14:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Notwithstanding the reference, was Anne de Montmorency acting as secretary whilst a varlet? He was later promoted to other roles, including Grand Master of France?
"At the most prestigious level it could be akin to a monarch or ruler's personal secretary, as was the case of Anne de Montmorency at the court of Francis I of France.[1]" Johnbod ( talk) 15:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks - there are the two valet/secretaries to Queens, so I suppose it's ok. I had already done Alexandre Bontemps, & improving WP coverage of the workings of courts (rather than long lists of holders of ceremonial titles like Lord of the Bedchamber) is one of my aims, so this is a welcome addition. I will put this up for DYK, if that's ok. Johnbod ( talk) 18:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
