EORL.
es;
m.
I.
an
Anglo-Saxon
nobleman
of
high
rank,
the
yarl
of
the
Danes,
about
the
same
as
an
ealdorman.
He
who
was
in
early
times
styled
ealdorman,
was
afterwards
denominated
an
earl;
c
mes,
s
telles
princ
pis.
This
title,
which
was
introduced
by
the
Jutes
of
Kent,
occurs
frequently
in
the
laws
of
the
kings
of
that
district,
the
first
mention
of
it
being
:--
Gif

eorles

xii
scillinga
gebéte
if
a
man
slay
a
man
in
an
earl's
town,
let
him
make
compensation
with
twelve
shillings,
L.
Ethb.

Th.
i.

Its
more
general
use
among
us
dates
from
the
later
Scandinavian
invasions,
and
though
originally
only
a
title
of
honour,
it
became
in
later
times
one
of
office,
nearly
supplanting
the
older
and
more
Saxon
one
of
'ealdorman:'
