 The title was pushed aside by another office, "hovmästare", and not until Per Brahe the Elder was appointed steward by John III in 1569, was the title revived.Albeit honorable, the title meant no particular assignment until 1614, when Lord High Steward Magnus Brahe was put in charge of the newly established Svea Court of Appeal, the highest court of Sweden at the time.The steward became responsible of supervising justice in Sweden.
