Kastelan

Kastelan je naziv za guvernera dvorca i okolne teritorije koji se koristio u srednjovjekovnoj Europi.^[1] Riječ proizlazi iz latinskog Castellanus, od castellum što znači "dvorac".^[2]^[3]

Kastelan, ili visoki činovnik, bio je guverner zamka u srednjovjekovnoj Evropi. Njegova okolna teritorija se nazivala kastelanija. Kastelan je gotovo uvijek bio muškarac, ali je povremeno mogao biti i žena, kao kada je 1194. godine Beatrice od Bourbourga naslijedila očevu kastelanu u Bourbourgu nakon smrti svog brata, Rogera.^[4] Slično, Agnes je postala kastelan zamka Harlech nakon smrti njenog muža Johna de Bonvillarsa 1287. Titula "guvernera" je zadržana u engleskom zatvorskom sistemu, kao ostatak srednjovjekovne ideje o kastelanu kao šefu lokalnog zatvora.^[5]
