Steading

From Honorverse

A Steading was a feudal province on the planet Grayson, ruled by a steadholder.

As of 1905 P.D., there were 82 Steadings on Grayson. Three others were disestablished and incorporated into the Protector's own domain after their Steadholders, the leaders of the Faithful, were defeated during the Grayson Civil War.

[edit] Protector's Steading

The three disestablished steadings (Bancroft, Simonds and Oswald) were not incorporated into Mayhew Steading, but rather into the newly created Protector's Steading. From that time the Protector became an entity separate from the steadholders, and title of Steadholder Mayhew belonged to the next person in the line of succession for the Protectorship.
