In French history, “lieutenant

du roi” was a title born by the officer sent with military powers to represent the king in certain provinces. A slap on the back, in turn, would defeat the king with a match: he would never play the game. A lieutenant du roi was sometimes called and served as lieutenant general to distinguish him from other lieutenants. The sergeant acting as staff officer was known as the sergeant-major general. The main general was eventually shortened to captain general. If a major outranks a lieutenant general, how do you replace a lieutenant general with a major general? http://en.wikipedia.org/. org/wiki/Military_rank.org.
