 **Notes:**
+  - March-Lord & March-Baron have the same precedence as others with the same title, except that they have no immediate overlord and can rule their estates (almost) as they see fit.  See [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_palatine|County Palatine]].
   - Should a Character attain the title and then (if the player leaves) becomes an NPC, the title will not be removed.
   - Spouses of titleholders, take the same title as their spouse.  However, they may also hold a lesser title in their own right.

   - These are all appointed titles, and someone always has the right to replace the person in authority.  It might be an electorate, the noble that appointed them in the first place, or the King.
