Jarl

Jarl
"Jarl" is a noble title, a rank below that of a Konungur (king). It is etymologically equivalent to the Old English '''"Earl". 'A jarl owes service to a king, and is served in turn by his thanes (see Thane), particularly his household guard, known as huskarlar ''(see Huskarl)

The proper plural should be jarlar, but I often use an Anglicized "jarls" for clarity.

Equivalent: Earl, Scandinavian Jarl
