[Ansteorra] Theory

"Politician: Lives in town, but all their interests are in the circles 
of power."

Funny, that's what I was going to say.  Even after reading the other 
suggestions, I'd still stick with this one.  In my experience, the folks who play only 
on the larger, Kingdom scale are more focused on personal agendas and 
political interests.  That isn't to say they don't also serve out of love, but it 
doesn't seem to be the same kind of selfless love and support that people give to 
their local group.  Typically they seem to possess a desire to initiate 
change according to their view of the SCA world and they work to make it happen, 
much as politicians do.  

I'm not sure politicians fit in the medieval town analogy.  Was there any 
type of person/dignitary in period that compares?
