https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groom_of_the_Stool
The Groom of the Stool (formally styled: "Groom of the King's Close Stool" ) was the most intimate of an English monarch's courtiers, responsible for assisting the king in excretion and hygiene.
Origins
The Groom of the Stool was a male servant in the household of the English monarch who was responsible for assisting the king in his toileting needs. It is a matter of some debate as to whether the duties involved cleaning the king's bottom, but the groom is known to have been responsible for supplying a bowl, water and towels and also for monitoring the king's diet and bowel movements and liaising with the Royal Doctor about the king's health. The appellation "Groom of the Close Stool" derived from the item of furniture used as a toilet. It also appears as "Grom of the Stole" as the word "Groom" comes from the Old Low Franconian word "Grom".
