@ Zelron - You are thinking about the Age of Absolutism (feudalism was a shell of its former self). During the high Middle Ages,  kings weren't always powerful. The old Kingdom of Poland, for instance was really ruled by the nobles. The nobles of England forced King John to sign the Magna Carta. The Emperor of Japan didn't rule, the Shogun did. The list goes on.

Ulrich himself makes comments about not being in full control of the Jarls.
