Bryndan Jarls

In Bryndol, each of the separate settlements are governed by a Jarl. The Jarldom is held by a member of a notable ruling House that answers to the High King but control their own local militias and are allowed to appoint a Thegn and Huskarl.

Ascension
The position of Jarl is hereditary, passing from the parent who holds the title onto their child (usually the first-born). While generally men hold the title of Jarls and is passed on to them, women are not barred from carrying the position if the title is bequeathed to them. Another way of holding the title of Jarl is through conquest. For instance, Ernst the Cokewold who ruled as Jarl of Cavalier in 57 BE for one week was killed by his former Thegn, Hemming, who took the position under House Georg.

Privileges
The role of the Jarl is to rule their respective settlement without exceeding the High King but are allowed special privileges that the High King can not intrude.

Militia
The Jarls are allowed to form and control their own militia that protects their respective settlement from foreign or domestic opponents.

Raid
Jarls are allowed to form a raiding party and participate in them on foreign lands not in the Bryndol Kingdom. They also have the right to keep any and all wealth that they've pillaged during the raids.

Thegn
Jarls are allowed to appoint a Thegn that would serve to protect the Jarl as a personal bodyguard.

Huskarl
Jarls may appoint a Huskarl who will serve as captain of the settlement's militia. Huskarls chosen by a High King, however, serve as captain of the overall kingdom's army in times of foreign war.

Form of address
As a title Jarls are addressed as Jarl (name). For example, when referring to King Ignard as a Jarl specifically, he would be addressed as "Jarl Ignard" or "Jarl Ignard Ruthless Tooth" (Though full name is not required).
