[Artemisia] Re: Marquis question

[leishman10 at juno.com]

The following is taken directly out of the document:  Forward into the
Past located on the Artemisia web page: 

Count or Countess: They have served once as King or Queen. Call them
"Your Excellency." Some alternate titles are Earl (Jarl, Iarll) and Graf.


We used this entire document at our recent  Defenders Tourney to teach
the youth how to address nobility.  Very useful study for everyone ;0)

Re: 
Actually, I *have* seen "earl" used as a title in the SCA.  Seems to 
 be  used as an alternative to "Count."

 In the SCA, a count is a title bestowed upon someone who has 
 reigned  over a kingdom once.  A duke is someone who has reigned twice
or 
 more.  
 Earl, from what I understand, is not used in the SCA.
