Marquis
Discussion thread for Marquis.
I take it that we're using a completely different marquis to either the British or French versions? The British title is very high-ranking, second-only to a duke, whereas in the French system the title was devalued so much that it was ranked only slightly higher than a baron and less than a viscomte.Last edited by Thelandrin; 11-13-2008 at 01:32 AM.

The standard order of French titles is
* Duc
* Marquis
* Comte
* Vicomte
* Baron
* Prince
* Seigneur
Aside from not including the petty princes, and calling seigneurs lords, the rank order is the same as British.
Just as vicomte is an under-count, marquis is an over-count. It seems reasonable to base the marquis on the position of count and step up.
I'm not sure where the confusion rests.

Hmm, Marquis, where do tents and terrorists come in?
