+ | ===== Overview ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A simple analysis of different ranks and titles, with a rough comparison of status and influence. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While I have used the male equivalent of titles, partly to save space, but many are also the primary titles and are used by both men and women. | ||

+ | ==== Landed Titles ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have put Royal Titles at the top of the list - and used this definition to represent anyone who says they have the hereditary right to rule a piece of land - from ++Emperors|(High King, Czar, Kaiser, Caesar are alternatives)++ who rule many countries by force or arms or treaties, through to the Sovereign Lord who might only claim a small patch of land. These members of Royal houses might be forced to pay taxes or tributes to an overlord - but they still claim their right to rule (even when they can't insist on it) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Noble titles are backed up by land granted to the holder by patent - by a King or other monarch. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Aristocratic Titles are slightly different in that they can be backed up by freehold land or land granted by patent - and their title is often granted to them by a Noble who acts as an intermediary between the aristocrat and the Monarch. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lairds are somewhat different but still have a title that is attached to a piece of land - and are still called ' | ||
+ | ==== Militant Orders ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This started off as Chivalric Orders, | ||
+ | |||
+ | I use it for The Brevic Knights in [[https:// | ||
+ | ==== Administrative Titles ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Administrative titles are generally Appointments, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | - Regional Officials. A Regent administers an area on behalf of his overlord, a Viscount is normally the senior Baron in a County/ | ||
+ | - City Officials. | ||
+ | - Town Officials. | ||
+ | - Elder, Leader, Hetman, Reeve, Bailiff ... Someone appointed to manage a village. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Other Titles ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The other titles are either self-explanatory or are described in the various Business or Stronghold Rules. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Southern Region ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The primary responsibility of a Noble is to defend the land and uphold the security of the inhabitants. The ability to provide this security is measured by the Defence Value. There are three ranks of Noble titles that are available in Midmarch, and one way you can show your Noble potential is to contribute an appropriate number of Defence Points to The defence of the March. At different ranks you are expected to provide:- | ||
+ | |||
+ | Henry, Baron Gates and Viscount Midmarch, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cass Mordane, Lord Mayor of Tusk may appoint lifetime titles that are the equivalent of Lords-Dominus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Dominus – 5 Defence Points | ||
+ | * Lord – 10 Defence Points | ||
+ | * Baron – 15 Defence Points | ||
+ | |||
+ | * March-Lord is the holder of any independent area of land, who has less than 15 Defence Points | ||
+ | * March-Baron is the holder of any independent area of land, who has 15 or more Defence Points | ||
+ | |||
+ | As you build your stronghold, the defence points will come. The larger you build your estates and holdings, the easier it is to ‘collect’ defence points. If you have more than one estate, you can combine their defence values when calculating which Noble Title you can claim. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You may also qualify with non-estate holdings - Sword-schools, | ||
