major major Explanation: "The governor was supported by various officers, in particular his deputy, the lieutenant de roi, or lieutenant of the king, who was responsible for general security and the protection of state secrets; **the major, responsible for managing the Bastille's financial affairs and the police archives**; and the capitaine des portes, who ran the entrance to the Bastille." You might have to put a few words in brackets explaining what it means, and maybe put "major" in italics. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille |
