Lord in Jorvik

The title Lord in Jorvik, for women, Lady in Jorvik, is a subsidiary title of all members of the House of Waffel-Paine. The title was established in 1632 by the Natopia and Shireroth by the ratification of Treaty between the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, for itself and on behalf of the Elwynnese Union, on one hand, and the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation, on the other, on the matter of sovereignty over Llæng and Jorvik.

Prior to the ratification of the treaty, Jorvik had been a Natopian fiefdom, with the Jarl of Jorvik also being the Emperor of Natopia.

Natopia had claimed Leng, which was also claimed and administered by the Vanic monarchy in Elwynn under the flag of Shireroth. Natopia tried several times to regain Leng from King Noah of Elwynn, but Noah refused every offer until Emperor Naian offered to abdicate the jarldom of Jorvik in the favour of King Noah. In return, Natopia was granted Leng and all members of the House of Waffel-Paine was given the title Lord/Lady in Jorvik in perpetuity. Meanwhile, the Jarldom of Jorvik was ceded to Elwynn. Upon the dissolution of the Elwynnese monarchy in 1656, the title Jarl of Jorvik was similarly dissolved.
