court scribe Explanation: Could "Court Scribe" be a possibility? I'm unsure if it might need any capitalisation. See some possible references below. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scribe https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=court+scribe&oq=court+scribe&aqs=chrome.0.57j0l3.3105j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 |

palace/court scribe Explanation: Dictionary (rightly) gives "skrivere" as "scribe" (and nordstedt's concurs from Swedish). Court scribes are definitely something I've come across and a quick google confirms its usage. Palace scribe is also in use (see reference) - maybe a little posher?
