jarl

The title jarl is often translated into English as earl, but the correct translation would be duke.

Sandwich is a placename, sandy vik, the food item is named after an earl/eoarl/yarl/jarl (take your pick).

Instead, you'd expect them to know even less about the migrations of their nation from the steppes than modern English-speakers know about Jarl Rikard.

One, on the present NPR president Jarl Mohn, was slated for deletion on numerous grounds when I first submitted it.

Once your client/company reaches a certain size, you will pretty much have to do it to satisfy the demands of some sort of security/compliance jarl.

> To make sense of those, Oranchak brought in Jarl van Eycke, a Belgian warehouse worker and codebreaker who’d written AZdecrypt, software used for decoding homophonic substitutions.

I did wonder if that was the Normans reconnecting with their Viking roots, as it was the Danish kings of England who first used the word as a title for provincial rulers, in its Norse form jarl.

If Jarl Rikard had been cut down by bandits in his youth, or had merely failed to enlist the Norman landholders' swords under his banner (and that of his son, grandson, and great-grandson), the Norman invasion would not have happened.

Since Jarl Mohn's taken the helm (and after a period in which the CEO position had come to remember Al Qaeda's 2nd in Command or Hogwart's Instructor in Defence Against the Dark Arts), what I've noted has been a fragmentation of programming.

The two words seem to have different roots ("jarl"/"earl" < Old Engl.

Therefore it would be very anachronistic to translate "jarl" with "duke".

So no, a "jarl" is best to be left an "earl".

The only criteria in favour of "duke" is the fact that this title was later often used in Scandinavia instead of "jarl" for functionally similar offices.

So it sounds like it went: Ealdormen==Duke then after Cnut, Ealdormen==Jarl==Earl==Duke and then after 1066, (Earl==Count)!=Duke.

Jarl is simply just etymologically related to earl.
