[Artemisia] Marquis question

> Re: [Artemisia] Marquis question

There are no Marquis.  Many years ago, some folks in one of the 
kindgoms out east proposed marquis/marquess for people who had reigned 
more than once as terretorial princes/princesses.  It went pretty much 
splat when it hit the BoD, I forget why (though I wouldn't be surprised 
if it was a simple case of not wanting to change lightbulbs...)

There are earls, just not many around locally.  An earl is really the 
same as a count; the REAL difference between the two is language, the 
former having Anglo/Germanic roots ("eorl," "yaerl") and the former 
having Latin/French roots ("comte," "comes")
