International titulature needs no regional differences. Therefore the Litany of
Noble Titles...
**Noblility,
quality and state of being noble in character, deed and mind, starts with
knighthood and not with dukedom, princedom or kingdom.
***Nobility
has a.o. the qualities: honesty, bravery and unselfishness, excellence, dignity
and honour...
****
Great-, Arch-, Vice-, Under- etc. prefixes does not change the predicate and
further address of the title.
***** E.g.:
His Imperial Majesty Akihito, Emperor of Japan.
High
nobility, feudal manorness: Marquis and higher. Low nobility, allodial manorness:
Earl/Count and lower.
