hey, all. some of you may remember this thread that i started almost two and a half years ago now. since i've been working pretty extensively on *British history for my ASB ATL, the issue that i didn't really finalize my alternate peerage list and still had one or two Romance-language names on it. instead of necro'ing my old thread, i figured i'd just start a new one and appeal for some advice.

- Grand Duke
- Duke
- Marquess
- Margrave
- Earl
- Viscount
- Baron
- Knight
- Knight of Honor (and yes, these are ripped straight from Code Geass; the whole timeline was inspired by that show)
replacements i'm currently considering are:
- Grand Duke
- Duke (might be replaced with Earl or Herzog)
- Ealdormen (might replace Marquess, or Marquess would be omitted)
- Margrave (unchanged)
- Earl (unchanged)
- Thane (replaces Viscount)
- Freiherr (replaces Baron)
- Knight (might be omitted)
- Housecarl (replaces Knight of Honor)
