Knight High Steward

This position is the first of The High Offices. It is always held by the King's Housecarl, making the duties of the two positions often indistinguishable, hence the title 'Knight High Steward' is rarely used. The full title is 'Knight High Steward of the Kingdom of [Ceorlund/Amelund]'. The purpose of this position is to rule in the King's stead should he be not present, and also to rule immediately following the death of a King while the heir is being sorted out and coronation organised. The current Knight High Stewards are: Milðang, Housecarl of King Niklas Wulf-Kin I and Igarswiþ, Housecarl of King Yernswiþ II.
