While completing "Blood on the Ice" is not a prerequisite of becoming a Thane of Eastmarch, the quest will automatically start upon the purchase of Hjerim. Also, if on the Legion's side in the Civil War, Brunwulf's bandit quest must be done to become a Thane anyway. 
Regardless of who controls Windhelm, the Dragonborn must speak to Ulfric/Brunwulf, and the Jarl will offer the title of Thane contingent on them helping five people of Windhelm as mentioned above and purchasing Hjerim from their respective steward. After these two objectives have been completed, Ulfric/Brunwulf will grant the Dragonborn the title of Thane, give them a random leveled weapon of Eastmarch, and appoint a housecarl, named Calder, to serve them.

==Bugs==
*There is a bug where Brunwulf is never updated to his new position as Jarl of Windhelm.
** Using the console command addfac 00050920 1, gives him the new dialogue and outfit, but he will still not reside in the Palace of Kings. However, he should have the Thane dialogue option available, should the player have already helped 5 citizens.
* If Brunwulf is Jarl, turning in radiant bandit bounty quests may not add to the quest stage for becoming Thane.
