+=====Chatelaine in History=====
+A Châtelaine is a French term for the mistress of a castle or château, or the mistress of any large medieval household. It can also refer to a woman's ornamental chain worn around the waist, with keys, a purse, timepiece, or other household attachments - hence why the symbol of the Chatelaine's office is a key. The masculine form is châtelain, which was the keeper of a castle without a resident count.
