Mannish Orders of Chivalry

This includes hereditary and appointed titles of importance in The Confederate Kingdoms. Each Kingdom has a separate system, so assume there are at least two of each of the positions below.

Jarls
//Copied from // All the positions listed below are equal. The Master of The North is only in Ceorlund.

The High Officers
The positions below are in order of power.

Jarl
There can only be Six Jarls in Amelund, and Seven in Ceorlund - one for each Jarldom. Jarls have limited control over their Jarldom, and are completely answerable to the King. Every Jarl is on the Moot of their kingdom. In order to become a Jarl you must be a Knight first. When a Jarl dies, an eminent Knight is appointed by the Moot to replace him. If the Knight already holds one of the High Offices, he must give it up. A Jarl must be male.

Knight
There can, in theory, be an infinite number of Knights. A candidate for Knighthood is suggested to the King by a Jarl (generally the Jarl of the candidate's Jarldom). A Knight bust be an efficient and well trained fighter, and must be male in Ceorlund, but may be either male or female in Amelund.
