Field Marshal
A Field Marshal (sometimes incorrectly spelled Marshall) is a military officer of the highest rank, one step above a full General or Colonel General. It is of a comparable rank to the similar position of General of the Army. The rank of Marshal dates to the early Middle Ages, originally meaning the keeper of the King's horses (mare scalci) from the time of the early Frankish Kings.
