In the 1500's gentry would raise personal Regiments, which they would promised would be used for the will of the King or Queen. The Crown would pay some tribute to these gentry to help maintain these regiments.

Muster-Masters would be citizens who confirmed that the members of these regiments were real people, and not non-entities the gentry made up to make more money.

The regiments at times would be called to, "muster," or fall in. The master would take roll, thus he was the Muster Master. At least that's my best understanding. Hope it helps.
