- The Lord of Dale was an hereditary title held by the ruler of Dale until its destruction in TA 2770. The only recorded Lord was the final one, Girion. His descendent Bard I later founded the title of Kings of Dale after killing the dragon Smaug in TA 2941. The hereditary title was held by the House of Dale including all the Lords of Dale from Geirald down to Girion.
- The Lords of Dale were the Chieftains and political Leaders of the early Dalemen. They were not considered Kings (Del. "Konung") as the only rhovanian chief who was powerful enough to claim the title King of Wilderland had been Vidugavia (about T.A, 1250 - T.A. 1304) whose lordship had provided a protectorate for the early Northron Lords living in the Celduin and Carnen vales and the environs of the lonely Mountain.Although in later days the lesser seccessors of Vidugavias still sometimes claimed the Title of Kings, after the years of T.A. 1999, Dale really became an independent Lordship, subordinate to no rulers but the King under the Mountain.
