And the Collected Name Precedents have the heraldic title precedents at:
http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/precedents/CompiledNamePrecedents/Titles.html#H
eraldicTitles
This may also help.

Timing is everything! Juliana de Luna taught a class on this at KWHS a
couple of weeks ago. I finished HTML'ing the first draft of her associated
article in late August. It's posted at:
http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/HeraldicTitles/
She has hundreds of examples in there. It's waaaaay cool.
If someone spots broken links, etc., please let me know so I can fix them.
The HTML'ing was kinda rushed so I could have it ready in time for her KWHS
class.
