Overlord

•  Bretwalda

  Bretwalda, also brytenwalda and bretenanwealda, is an Anglo-Saxon word, the first record of which comes from the late 9th century Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is applied in the Chronicle to some of the rulers of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms from the fifth century onwards who had achieved overlordship of some or all of the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It is unclear whether the word dates back to the fifth century, and was used by the kings themselves, or whether it is a later, ninth-century invention.

  Feudalism is a decentralized sociopolitical structure in which a weak monarchy attempts to control the lands of the realm through reciprocal agreements with regional leaders.

Since antiquity a position of honour and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship.
