aldor-,

es;
m.
[eald
old,
not
only
in
age,
but
in
knowledge,
v.
eald,
hence
ealdor
an
elder;
man
hmo].
I.
an
elderman,
ALDERMAN,
senator,
chief,
duke,
a
nobleman
of
the
highest
rank,
and
holding
an
office
inferior
only
to
that
of
the
king;
mjor
ntu,
sntor,
prcer,
princeps,
pr

præfectus,
trb
nus,
qucunque
est
aliis

aut
ntu
mjor.
The
title
of
Ealdorman
or
Aldorman
denoted
civil
as
well
as
military
pre-eminence.
The
word
ealdor
or
aldor
in
Anglo-Saxon
denotes
princely
dignity:
in
Beowulf
it
is
used
as
a
synonym
for
cyning,
þeóden,
and
other
words
applied
to
royal
personages.
Like
many
other
titles
of
rank
in
the
various
Teutonic
languages,
it,
strictly
speaking,
implies
age,
though
practically
this
idea
does
not
survive
in
it
any
more
than
it
does
in
the
word
Senior,
the
original
of
the
feudal
term
Seigneur.
Every
shire
had
its
ealdorman,
who
was
the
principal
judicial
officer
of
the
shire,
and
also
the
leader
of
its
armed
force.
The
internal
regulations
of
the
shire,
as
well
as
its
political
relation
to
the
whole
kingdom,
were
under
his
immediate
guidance
and
supervision,--the
scír-geréfa,
or
sheriff,
being
little
more
than
his
deputy,
and
under
his
control.
The
dignity
of
the
ealdorman
was
supported
by
lands
within
his
district,
which
appear
to
have
passed
with
the
office,--hence
the
phrases,
ðæs
ealdormonnes
lond,
mearc,
gemro,
etc.
which
so
often
occur.
The
ealdorman
had
also
a
share
of
the
fines
and
other
monies
levied
to
the
king's
use;
though,
as
he
was
invariably
appointed
from
among
the
higher
nobles,
he
must
always
have
possessed
lands
of
his
own
to
the
extent
of
forty
hides,
v.
Hist.
Eliens.
ii.
40.
The
ealdormen
of
the
several
shires
seem
to
have
been
appointed
by
the
king,
with
the
assent
of
the
higher
nobles,
if
not
of
the
whole
witena
gemót,
and
to
have
been
taken
from
the
most
trustworthy,
powerful,
and
wealthy
of
the
nobles
of
the
shire.
The
office
and
dignity
of
ealdorman
was
held
for
life,--though
sometimes
forfeited
for
treason
and
other
grave
offences;
but
it
was
not
strictly
hereditary

the
new
constitution
introduced
by
Cnut,
who
reigned
in
England
from
A.D.
1014
to
1035,
reduced
the
ealdorman
to
a
subordinate
position,--one
eorl,
Nrs.
jarl,
being
placed
over
several
shires.
The
Danish
kings
ruled
by
their
eorlas
or
jarls,
and
the
ealdormen
disappeared
from
the
shires.
Gradually
the
title
ceased
altogether,
except
in
the
cities,
where
it
denoted
an
inferior
judicature,
much
as
it
now
does
among
ourselves
