It demonstrated that native chieftainships in the Qing were largely assigned with the rank of county-level and below (zhixian, or magistrate of county, ranked 7a), since the number of native chieftains with rank 7 constituted more than one-third of all ranked native chieftains in the Qing Yunnan. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In common with the other tribes of the Iroquoian linguistic stock, the Tuscarora traced the descent of blood through the line of the mother, and made the civil and official military chieftainships hereditary in the ohwatcira of certain clans (see Clans) over which the women chiefs and the elder women presided. ❋ O. M. McPherson (1915)

In fact, it is most probable that at this early period Sussex was divided into several little tribes or chieftainships, each of which had its own clearing in the lowland cut laboriously out of the forest by the aid of its stone axes; while in the centre stood the compact village of wooden huts, surrounded by a stockade, and girt without by the small cultivated plots of the villagers. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)

It seems far more probable that each little clan settlement was at first wholly independent; that afterwards three little chieftainships grew up in the three fertile strips -- typified, perhaps, by the story of Ælle's three sons -- and that the whole finally coalesced into a single kingdom of the South Saxons, which is the state in which we find the county in Bæda's time. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)
The western colony was beginning to raise itself into a great power, under its fierce and strong old king Penda, who seems to have consolidated all the petty chieftainships of the Midlands into a single fairly coherent kingdom. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)
The townships were rudely gathered together into petty chieftainships; and these chieftainships tended gradually to aggregate into larger kingdoms, which finally merged in the three great historical divisions of Northumbria, Mercia, and Wessex; divisions that survive to our own time as the North, the Midlands, and the South. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)
Even if extended chieftainships over several villages had already been set up, as is perhaps implied by the great tumuli of chiefs and the size of the camps in some parts of Britain, we must suppose them to have been confined for the most part to a single river valley. ❋ Grant Allen (1873)
