Empress Matilda - Real Royal Noble Titles

Posted by John Smith on March 11th, 2019

Perhaps today you know that there are many real royal noble titles in progress but it is possible that you do not know what they are owed or what is their hierarchy within the nobility of a particular country?

The real royal noble titles were in some way the best way to have an order during the Feudalism of the Middle Ages and the system of regency in it. All the titles were granted by the King and the winners were the Knights of the Court who excelled in battles.

Among the nobiliary titles, we also have a hierarchy that designates the ranks within the nobility and that is as follows: King / Queen, Prince / Princess, Archduke / Archduchess, Duke / Duchess, Marquis / Marquise, Count / Countess, Baron / Baroness,

The title of Duke usually is granted by the King to children of the Royalty and that cannot show to the reign as it is the case of the inheriting Prince.

The Marquises are the following in the hierarchical pyramid of the nobility that governed the Marquesados and were men of considerable power. At that time they were magnates of the time and that nothing has to do with what we know today as a tycoon.

The Counts, for their part, were originally the companions of the Emperor at the time of the Roman Empire and xxxx his fief was called Condado.

The Vizcondes were the substitutes of the previous ones in their absence and that is currently an honorary title simply.

On the other hand, the Barons were the least common and are influential people wherever they are and xxxx during Feudalism they had all of the rights of the Feudo or what is the same, right to have lands and vassals working in them.

Although if you want to know which the most powerful title of them is, you will have to know that it is the Emperor, who is King of Kings and regent of an Empire.
