court magicians
Royal realm wizards
Court magicians were practitioners of magic, astrology, or occult arts who served in royal or noble households.
They advised rulers on matters believed influenced by supernatural forces—favorable dates for battles, interpretations of omens, protection from curses.
The role blended genuine belief with political theater; a wise monarch kept such figures close whether or not he credited their powers.
The king consulted his court magicians before any major decision.
