There were two types of Stolnik in Lithuania:
- Grand Stolnik of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos didysis stalininkas; Polish: Stolnik wielki litewski)
- Stolnik of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos stalininkas; Polish: Stolnik litewski)
According to the 1768 district office hierarchy of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Stolnik was superior to podstoli and inferior to wojski.
Stolnik in Russia
[edit]
Stolniks were known as palace servants of the Russian rulers since the 13th century.[2] In the 16th and 17th centuries they were young nobles who brought dishes to the tsar's table, looked after his bedroom, and accompanied him in travels. The highest category comprised the room or closer stolniks.
Stolniks could simultaneously serve in the foreign office or in the army. They were ranked fifth in the hierarchy of Russian bureaucracy, after boyars, okolnichys, duma nobles, and duma dyaks.
Stolniks were also attached to episcopal administrations as were other similar offices also found in the grand princely or tsarist administration. For example, stolniks are found in documents from the archiepiscopal records in Veliky Novgorod.[3]
