The term secretanus was employed in England from the beginning of the thirteenth century in the varying meanings of a confidential clerk, an ambassador, or a member of the king's council. This undifferentiated use of the word had, however, practically ceased by the reign of Richard II, if not earlier, and from 1377 the secretanus regis is the holder of a definite office in the king's household, the king's confidential clerk a whose primary function is the custody of the king's signet
