Behind the scene
Historically, the term jarlskona is not well attested, only showing up in a few sources and only with the meaning of "a jarl's wife" rather than "a lady jarl". However, by 2015, the Society for Creative Anachronisms had added it to their list of alternative titles for women roleplaying a lady jarl in their recreations, replacing the term jarla.[3]
