There was, once a time long ago, as movement to include
Marquess/Marquise for people who were Crown and Coronet. (You know one
king and one prince type thing...) but they thought it would never be
used. (It was a long time ago.....) They also thought about the term
Grand Duke for awhile to someone who ruled five times. (Grand Duke Inman)
Is Baronet a period term? For some reason I always thought it was
later but I haven't had much coffee. What rank would it be for? Most of
the Kingdoms have such wide variance in rank for Court Barons. WOuld it be
for a particular level of something?
I always liked Knights Banneret myself. And I won't bring up the
whole thought of peers in fealty should be Sir or Dame( regardless of
type) and those out of fealty being Master or Mistress.
