Also, JV had lots of key positions temporarily. There's nothing wrong when that happens out of necessity. There is something wrong when one player continues to hoard positions in a realm long after there are plenty of nobles who'd be capable of holding some of those positions instead.
If you've got a realm with only 4 nobles then it's excusable to have 1 player as ruler/duke/general/margrave/marshal or whatever. It's really not excusable once you've got 8 or more nobles.
