So Bertil (and you others who actually know something about
this subject), could you show us a heirarchy of nobles? You
kknow, something like "above all in the universe is the
emperor. Directly subservient to him are (X) Archdukes
(or whatever)." and so forth.
I, for one, would like to know whether a viscount would
cowtow to a duke, or vice versa.
And how do you suppose knights fit in among these? Can someone
be a noble and not a knight? A night and not a noble? A
non-noble knight who reports only to some really high-level
official?
