Swedish jarls

Jarl was medieval Swedish title (see earl) which conventionally was next to the ing and only one jarl could exists at a time.

Members of so-called Bjelbo family became usual holders of jarlship in 11th century and the title was subsumed to duke and powers merged in crown sometime in 1270's.

Birger jarl was called Dux sweciae, in Swedish meant riksjarl.
