The world marshal literally refers to a servant who was in charge of a stable or horses. The term came to mean more than that, and the title evolved to include a trusted servant of a noble, usually one with military or security duties. In England, for example, the term marshal was used to refer to the head of household security for the Kings of England.

A famous example is Sir William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke. Also known as William the Marshal (Guillaume le Maréchal in French), William was a knight who served four successive kings of England as a soldier, knight, and adviser. He was famous in his own time both for his military prowess and his loyalty and service to the crown of England.

they were kind of like sheriffs today but they followed the orders of the king instead of the law because the king was the law.
