Hersir

In Norse mythology, Hersir was the chief of his tribe and father of Erna.
A Hersir was also a local military commander who led about 20 people and owed allegiance to a Jarl or lord. Hersirs were also aspiring landowners, and, like the middle class in many feudal societies, supported the kings in their centralization of power.
