Founded in 804 AD, the Captaincy of the North or under its Latin Title, ''Capetaneus et Magister Militum de Gallia''. The title was founded as a means to exert Conine and Imperial authority over the region of much of modern-day Fiannria. The Captaincy in its original form was a military host and a series of strategic castles and fortifications funded by the Emperor and taxation of the nobility of Culfras. It was headed by the Imperial Captain, which early on was a relative of the emperor or a prominent noble from elsewhere in the Empire, who would be in charge of affairs in the North for a term of ten years before being allowed to return to the south. | Founded in 804 AD, the Captaincy of the North or under its Latin Title, ''Capetaneus et Magister Militum de Gallia''.
