In ASOIAF? Jeor Mormont.
In history? Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Romans, King of Italy, King of Spain, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Lord of the Netherlands abdicated at age 56 to go live in a monastery.
Do you think or do you know any case when a lord “retired” from ruling his house/kingdom without dying or being dispossessed? We know that most of them rule until the end of their lives, but in case of a severe sickness or whatever other reason, is it possible for a lord to pass the lead to his heir or another relative?
