No, the Civil War quest line will give you your answer. Ulfric Stormcloak is believed to be High King, if you win the Stormcloak quest line, but Ulfric calls upon the Jarls to decide, so no one knows who inherits the throne.

What happens if you shoot at the Jarl of whiterun in Skyrim?

Certain NPC's are flagged as essential until a certain stage of the game where they can be killed. Most (if not all) Jarls are flagged as essential and the Jarl of Whiterun is critical for the game's main questline progression. So attempting to kill an essential character will only make them unconscious for a while. Now, the morality issue of attempted murder of a Jarl is considered regicide and therefore the highest crime to king… Read More

'The High King is ruler above all, and is always one of the Jarls, selected by a body called the 'Moot' - a specially convened council of all the Jarls, who meet with the express purpose of choosing Skyrim's High King.'
―Skyrim's Rule[src]

The High King or High Queen is a monarch who is typically responsible for governing the province, although in places with High King or Queens the holds, regions, provinces usually have more autonomy than other places.[source?]

SkyrimEdit

In Skyrim, the High King or Queen typically inherits the throne by birth and rules for life or until abdication.[citation needed] In the event that no direct heir to the throne exists, High Kings are selected by a moot, or vote, conducted by the current Jarls of each of the nine Holds.[1] Votes occur most commonly when the previous High King dies, but an emergency vote can be called to order if the High King is bested in a duel. A High King cannot refuse a duel requested by a Jarl.[2] Without the challenger being allowed to call a new Moot to meet.[3]

The High King swears fealty to the Emperor, and as such Solitude is the city most directly influenced by Imperial culture and politics; thus the Jarl of Solitude has served as High King for generations. According to some source the Moot is, therefore, more formality and theater than anything else.[1] Other sources state that the Moot always meets to select a new High King.[4] Originally, the High King was based in Windhelm, as it was the first capital city established by Ysgramor in the late Merethic Era. The Capital had also shifted to Winterhold sometime in the First Era, but as of the Fourth Era, the High King reigns from Solitude.

HistoryEdit

Second EraEdit

As a result of the Reman Empire's fall in 2E 431, High King Logrolf was assassinated. When Jarl Svartr claimed his daughter Freydis was illegitimate, a partial moot in Windhelm convened Freydis was High Queen, while a partial moot in Solitude convened Svartr was High king. As a result, the province was split into the West and East kingdoms, ruled separately by each High Kings of the capitals.[5] In 2E 582, High King Svargrim ruled the West Kingdom while High King Jorunn the Skald-King ruled the East Kingdom.[6]

Fourth EraEdit

Ulfric Stormcloak(left) and Elisif the Fair
(right) are the candidates for High King or Queen
of Skyrim during the Skyrim Civil War.

In the Fourth Era, upon the death of High King Torygg, the Jarls could not agree on the next High King. Torygg's widow, Elisif the Fair, the Jarl of Solitude, had a legitimate claim to the throne.[7] However, according to Ulfric Stormcloak, the Jarl of Windhelm, ancient Nord tradition dictates that when the High King is bested in battle, the winner can call a Moot to have a new High King chosen.[7] Ulfric believed this gave him a stronger claim to the throne.[7] This resulted in Civil War because the Empire considered the duel unfair and an act of murder, due to Ulfric's use of the Thu'um.[3] It is strongly implied that Ulfric initiated the challenge, plotting to intimidate the other Jarls into naming him High King,[2][7] though Ulfric and his supporters maintained it was a lawful challenge to prove Torygg's weakness as a leader and Skyrim's wretched condition.[7][8] However, if the city of Solitude is taken by the Stormcloaks and the war resolved in their favor, Ulfric's earlier statement is proven true; saying he supports the decision of the Moot, whether he is crowned King or not. However, he still asks Elisif to swear fealty to him,[7] and all Jarls who fought against him are replaced.[9]

The Jagged CrownEdit

Main article: The Jagged Crown

The Jagged Crown is the crown of the High King of Skyrim and was used to symbolizes the power over Skyrim. It is made from the teeth and bones of dragons. It is believed to date back to the time of King Harald and is said to contain a portion of the power of every king or queen who wore it since.[21]

The last monarch to wear the crown was King Borgas, but it was believed lost when he was killed in the Wild Hunt of 1E 369. Legend holds that his body was secretly returned to Skyrim and buried with the crown, but the exact whereabouts were lost in the following War of Succession.[21] During the Civil War questline, the Dragonborn can help recover the crown for either the Imperial Legion or the Stormcloaks, providing a great symbolic victory to the side in question.

The Crown of VerityEdit

Main article: Crown of Verity

The Crown of Verity was an alternative to the Jagged Crown created when the Jagged Crown was lost in the Wild Hunt of 1E 369. It infamously rejected Asurn Ice-Breaker as High King in the fifth century of the First Era, cementing its authority deep into Skyrim's politics.[5]

High RockEdit

Main article: Emeric of Cumberland

In High Rock there has only ever been one High King, Emeric of Cumberland. A master warrior, brilliant politician, well-rounded in trading, speechcraft, and a brilliant strategist, he was also the King of Wayrest, High King of High Rock, the founder and Leader of the Daggerfall Covenant, and the founder of the Cumberland Dynasty.

HammerfellEdit

  • High King Thassad II, the last Na-Totambu High King of Hammerfell.[22]
    • Prince A'Tor, Thassad II Son and heir, mortally wounded during the Battle of Hunding Bay.[23]

Other nobilityEdit

TriviaEdit

  • In ancient and Early Medieval Ireland, the high king (Ard Ri) was a symbolic ruler who professed to have lordship over the whole of Ireland. However, most high king's actual power rarely extended past their native tuatha (tribal kingdom).
  • Similarly, in ancient and medieval Germanic Europe (on which Skyrim and the Nords are largely based), authority was usually bestowed upon a high king or emperor, who held the title but had varying levels of authority, depending on the country (in England and Germany, very little; in Scandinavia a fair amount). This system was developed out of ancient Germanic tribal tradition, where their rulers were elected by the freemen of the tribe (and in turn, higher rulers were elected from these representatives of the tribes).
