LOVE the addition of the Count from sesame street in the Thumbnail! Pretty clever Lindsay! 👏👏👏👏🧛🧛🧛🧛🧛

I think it's very funny that in France the heir is "the doplhin" while in England it's "Wales", too bad Spain wasn't "marposa" (porpoise) to keep the cetacean train going

The title “Grand Duchess” is my favorite. It just sounds so cool!

here in Brazil, we used to have the “Barons of Coffee”, super rich men that were important during the coffee cycle in the XIX century.
another great curiosity is that our first empress, Maria Leopoldina, was an archduchess of Austria, daughter of Franz II HRE

"Infanta and Dauphin" have always been my favorite words lol

For those that may be curious, the woman with the lace and rose headpiece at 7:46 is The Duchess of Alba, Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart. She loves art and plastic surgery😅.

I'm a simple supporter of children's programming. I see Count von Count, I click.

There is no “Caballera” in Spain or Spanish language, it’s “Dama”.

Would love to see a deep dive in french nobility: ancient regime vs bonapartist, prince du sang vs prince étranger

Just a few quick notes on some of the Latin mentioned in the video:

Regina would be either pronounced re-GHEE'-na with a rolled "r" and hard "G", like in "Geese" in Classical Latin or re-JEE-na in Ecclesiastical Latin, without the rolled "r".

The prefix Vice-, pronounced WEE-kay, in Classical Latin, or VEE-chay in Ecclesiastical Latin, would be more appropriately used to define "in place of" or "subordinate to", but can also be used to imply a change or alternative. This is the case in the common phrase "vice versā" or “the position having been reversed”. A more direct Latin link would be that of Vicarius, which would considered a literal substitute, successor, representative, or deputy. This was a common title for Roman Provincial Governors and Equestrian Procurator. It is also where we get the words Vicar, as in a church leader or "representative of the church" or in the case of the Pope "representative of Christ", and vicarious, i.e. acting or something done for another.

Barō, while yes, could mean "man" in Classical Latin, it was not used as "man" as in a male person. It was used more in the same way we say an army has "100,000 men" or is "a million men strong", i.e. soldier or warrior. It was introduced to Latin from Celtic and/or Proto-Germanic roots. It would later evolve to mean mercenary, soldier's servant, famous or notable man, and then vassal in Late-Latin, thus giving it a natural path to be used as a title of peerage.

Imperator would be pronounced ihm-pair-RAH-tor, with rolled "r's" in the case of Classical Latin.

There was no King of Bavaria before 1806. The title of the Bavarian monarch at the time of the Holy Roman Empire was actually duke.

I’m writing a story that involves nobility. It involves a fictional country, so the titles can be whatever I want, but I have been wondering what is what. This will probably help me a lot.

This is getting me through traffic

You forgot two ranks in France and Spain: Sieur/Dame and Señor/Señora, litterally meaning Lord/Lady. At least in Spain, these are considered fully part of the nobility titles system. In Spain there is also another special title, Grandee of Spain, which can be held alone or attached to a noble title: it automantically elevates the rank of the holder above everyone but the royal family and gives the right to be called "Your Excellency", whereas other nobles are only called "Your Illustriousness". In France there used to be a similar title during the Ancien Regime: Peer of France. Originally, Peers of France were few and were (in theory) equivalent to Princes Electors of the Holy Roman Empire, although with time the title became simply honorary. Finally, there is an extremely old noble title found exclusively in Spain that persists to this day: Caballero Divisero/Dama Divisera (roughly Co-Lord/Lady). This corresponds to a lordship that is shared among all the descendents of the grantee. Very common in Wisigoth times, the title has become more and more rare, but there are still a few that persist and are held collectively by extremely large extended families. Most notably, the ex-husband and thus the children of Infanta Elena hold are Co-Lords and Co-Lady of Tejada.

In Spain we also have Infanta & Infante

There are attempts in Spain to introduce absolute primogeniture after Leonor's birth, but it requires a constitutional amendment which requires a complicated process. And you forgot one thing about british titles: while english one's almost ecxclusively are for males only, scottish titles can also be inherited by daughters provided they didn't have any legitimate brothers.

I’d like to add that in Spanish and Portuguese nobility, the word “de”, meaning “from” before the surname, also denotes that the person descends from a noble family, much like von in the Holy Roman Empire

Correction about the Archduke of Austria. Charles V was both king of Spain and Archduke, but he gave the title of Archduke to his brother Ferdinand thus separating the Austrian and Spanish Habsburgs. The kings of Spain have not passed down the title of archduke.

Traditionally, the title Prince was only given to the Crown Prince. Other children of the monarch were given other titles, such as Duke or Infante(a). The UK started this tradition of calling all children of a monarch Prince
