Something Jedediah Stott pointed out in another thread
Well, no, nothing about English titles
makes sense
. They are what they are, a perpetual minefield for foreigners. How does one address the daughter of a Duke, who is married to a baronet, who happens to be a bishop?
Then if I look at the titles of James II's sons, it would seem, one was created both Duke AND Earl of Cambridge. What's the difference? And could a dukedom/duchy co-exist alongside a lesser peerage with the same title i.e. the X, the Duke of Cambridge and Y, the Earl of Cambridge?
