Help: What do you call someone who arranges fights or gladiatorial matches?

[Valkyrie Paine]

I'm trying to think of something that sounds medieval at least. Maybe Middle-Eastern in flavor actually.

I believe they were called Editors, or possibly Munerators, at least in respects to Roman gladiatorial bouts.

Here's a link to an interesting article on gladiators; if you scroll down to the 'Outline of the Games' portion of the text, you'll find where Editors and Munerators are mentioned:

Thanks!

I'd avoid editor, for flavor reasons. Yeah, in Rome I'm coming up with munerarius and munerarii, although that also seems to be a term used to describe the written bill. Have you thought about "Don King"?

Surely there's a word for it in a Middle Eastern language that would be good.

In addition to editor and munerator, the title of dominus was also given to an organizer of gladiatorial games. Its got a nice ring to it...not Middle Eastern, but you might be able to find a translator online that could do a Latin to Arabic translation.

Damn it's hard to find stuff in Arabic that is romanized....

I tried the one translator I could find that I can access at the moment and it comes out in actual Arabic letters.

I should be good for now though. Thanks everyone!

Exactly. I've been looking for stuff in Arabic for a while for my pbp.

Find an Arabic or Persian word for lord/master, and you're in bidness.

You could use Qa'id (leader) or S'aud (ruler).

Either would work as they sound cool and are Arabic.
