In literature the term “almoner” is often employed to designate an office or individual charged with distributing charity and managing benevolent affairs, usually within a royal or ecclesiastical setting. It is portrayed both as an honorary and sometimes titular role—the first almoner serving notable figures such as Catherine de Medicis [1] or acting under the authority of high church officials [2, 3]—and as an agent of spiritual and social obligation, where the duties extend from the ceremonial distribution of alms to the poor [4, 5] to more intricate court functions [6, 7]. Additionally, authors have used the almoner’s position to reflect on themes of duty, favoritism, and the sometimes satirical nature of official roles in society [8, 9].
