Earl
An Earl or Jarl was an

Scandinavian title meaning "chieftain" and referring especially to chieftains set to rule a territory in a king's stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the
Middle Ages and was replaced with
duke (hertig/hertug), whereas, in Britain, it became synonymous with the continental
count.
