Warden of the North

Warden of the North is a warden title traditionally held by House Stark, the Lords of Winterfell and the Lord Paramounts of the North, on behalf of the Iron Throne. However, following the War for the Dawn, the North would become a independent Kingdom, at which point the title was brought over, and is now to be a title for the King in the North. The warden has been responsible for the defense of the Seven Kingdoms' northern lands since Aegon's Conquest. The warden is now responsible for protecting the whole of the North, similar to the Protector of the Realm title for the Iron Throne, or the Protector of the South for the South now. The warden has grand command over all armies in the North, and are obligated to protect lands within the North, and the people within as well. A different idea proposed by King Jon II Stark is that the title wouldn't always go to the King in the North, but the person most worthy and capable, but that the King would always have the final say, in that they can grant it to anyone they wish, as it is with any title.
