Sheriff of Nottingham + Law + Authority
bearing in mind the wealth and land ownership of (all) the churches at the time one can also consider:
Earl of Caernarfon +loyalty + command
(and IF Cathedral and IF Earl of Caernarfon)
Bishop of Wales +piety +commerce +tax
My personal feeling/idea being that a title can convey political and military power to somebody (and thus engendered loyalty) but to *earn* the tied/associated ancillary one (the governor) has to work to achieve them; by building something in that province to gain some extra benefit even if its as obscure as "Authorised seller of Orthodox Iconography" +10% commerce income (or whatever).
Give it some RPG though and make the governor/titled person earn it, AND then make the result something identifiable and unique wherever possible (PLUS useful!)
Dont care about bowing to every historical accuracy, just give us something that is useful, fun and has to be achieved.
