Junker
The term was also used in several countries in the title ''Kammerjunker'', the German and Scandinavian (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) equivalent of the French [[valet de chambre]], a position usually given to young noble men in the service of a princely rank person at the court. A Kammerjunker was ranked below a [[Chamberlain (office)|chamberlain]], but above a chamber [[Page (servant)|page]]. Furthermore, the title has been used in military titles in the German and Scandinavian realm, such as [[Fahnenjunker]] and its Scandinavian equivalent [[fanejunker]].
