A retinque, also known as a retinue, refers to a group of attendants or followers accompanying an important person, such as a leader or dignitary. This entourage often includes advisors, servants, and other supporters who assist in various capacities. The term emphasizes the social and hierarchical aspects of the relationship between the leader and their followers. Retinques can be found in historical contexts as well as in modern settings where public figures have dedicated teams.
