English term or phrase: Black Rod

The Black Rod is the officer in the British House of Lords in charge of summoning and opening the parliament. You will find more information about what he does here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rod

Any ideas how to say this in Spanish? It is a British term, so perhaps it is not translated as such.

Thank you all for your help.

Explanation:
FYI.
I would not translate it, but I have just seen Black rod translated to German as something that it would be "emisario real, o Emisario de la Reina" in Spanish.
