*? Senechaux and Baillis of crown properties.

*? Lieutenant General: occasional appointment, when King wishes to have someone run the army in a particular region.

? Port Oriflamme: carries royal banner in battle

? Grand Maitre de Arbalestries: supervises archers, later spins off

In France you can also appoint a Lieutenant General of the Realm, who is a sort of vice-royal, overseeing all Royal business in a particular region, directly under the King. Lots of good graft here, except for Oriflamme, which, however, had tremendous prestige, for what that's worth.
