Adam Gottlob Moltke a Lensgreve and one of the most prominent nobles of his time, was Court Marshal of Denmark.

This role traditionally fell to the Lord Chamberlain of Denmark, but this title is no longer used, and all the responsibilities associated with the title has allocated to the Court Marshal.

In the United Kingdom the responsibilities of the office Court Marshal roughly correspond to Lord Chamberlain (although the Danish title Overkammerherre is the correct translation for this[5]), and the office Lord Marshal of the Court of Denmark (Danish: Overhofmarskal) correspond to Lord High Stewart.
