ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Capitoul

Capitoul is a fancy French word that means "chief magistrate" or "mayor." Think of it like the boss of a city, who makes important decisions about how things should be run. So, just like how a teacher is in charge of a classroom, or a parent is in charge of a family, a capitoul is in charge of a whole city or town! They help keep everything organized and make sure everyone is following the rules.
