Could someone give me a 'nobility ranking tree' or something? Example:


                                 Where do the Duchess & Duke come in, and where does the child come in? What are they? Thanks!


King___Queen         
    ___|___       
  Prince__Princess   Duchess__Duke
     |              |                            |
  Lady       Lord                 Male|Female
                                            ?        ?

King and Queen

 

Prince and Princess

 

Duke and Duchess

 

Count and Countess

 

Baron and Baroness

 

Knights

 

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure that is how it goes. Knights are often considered a low form of nobility so I included them as well. 

 

Of course Oren's line is far more complicated then just that. As Prince/Princess' children are also called Prince and Princess and you have to deal with the entire Royal Prince/Princess vs Imperial Prince/Princess thing. 

 

As for Children of Dukes - Barons they'd most likely be considered Lords/Ladies so long as their family still holds the land.

 

Really Lord is just a polite way to call someone who is above you on the nobility ladder. A Duke could be called a Lord just like a Baron can be.

Wait, so I'm a bit confused.  The children of the dukes and duchess's are called Barons/baronesses or Lords/Ladies

Your children would be called Lord/Lady. Thought, again, Lord/Lady isn't a noble rank but since they're children of nobility they are nobility themselves. Now a Duke owns a duchy which is made up of several counties. And a county is made up of Several Baronies.

 

 

However unless the father gives them a Barony, they aren't a baron/baroness.

 

Of course a Duke could easily give the children a barony to rule over once they come of age, making them a Baron/Baroness.

 

So until then, the children are Lord/Lady.
