    A marquess, being the ruler of a border region, has the authority to call up troops without seeking royal consent first. For this reason, the title went only to someone trusted by the monarch.

      I think what people meant by Queen was Queen regnant,that is a queen who is a ruler/monarch in her own right like Elizabeth II, whereas Camilla is a Queen consort, a Queen with no political rights and only a spouse of a King. Because Elizabeth II has ruled UK for so long, people tend to get confused over stuff like this.

      @@SweeterThanFiction.She does not rule, even though she is equal to King Charles in terms of position (and styled as Her Majesty) she is not a “ruler”, shes only a consort: a spouse. Thats why Prince Phillip is a Prince Consort because he was the husband of the late Elizabeth II, he does not possess the right to rule. Exception can be made if the current monarch was sick or was an infant, then a Queen consort/mother can rule on behalf of the monarch but will be called as Queen Regent, not Queen regnant. Camilla is the Queen of the UK regardless of what people said (i dont like her but we cant fight actual facts)

    The Grand Duchy of Finland was actually larger than the United Kingdom (not counting the colonies) and it should be called grand principality instead of grand duchy. In Finnish it's "suuriruhtinaskunta", "ruhtinas" means a reigning prince and "suuriruhtinas" means a grand prince. But for some reason it's usually known as grand duchy in English.

      Prince comes from the Latin Princeps which was another title the Roman emperors used and was originally used in wales to show supremacy over the welsh kings but then got demoted when English took over. it was originally meant to be emperor. And this is my ted talk on why the mushroom kingdom is an empire not a kingdom.

    • @BuckBlaziken
      @BuckBlaziken 14 днів тому +7

      The Mushroom Kingdom should be called the Mushroom Empire because of the vast regions it controls, from dense jungles to arid badlands. Even the dark and gloomy volcanic worlds where bowser usually resides in is technically still part of the Mushroom Kingdom, bowser just invaded it and took residence there. Plus Princeps was used to also address emperors in the Roman Empire so it could be something where the term princeps never lost its prestige of meaning emperor.

    0:25 Actually, the title of Tsar (spelled Czar in older English sources) is more in line with that of a king than an emperor. The title itself is derived from the word Caesar (yes, word, which itself is derived from Julius Caesar’s name) which was used by heirs apparent to the Roman throne or by junior co-emperors in the late Roman period. The title was officially changed during the reign of Peter I, who abandoned the title in favor of the Russian Император (imperator), the direct translation of the Roman word. This is also why the monarchs of modern Bulgaria (Ferdinand I, Boris III and Simeon II, the last of whom is still alive) were referred as Tsars of Bulgaria and no one batted an eye. The use of the title Tsar was a colloquialism used to refer to the Russian monarch after Peter the Great because the title had become so attached to the image of the Russian monarchy.

      @ Not really. Pretty much all of the Roman emperors actually used it as part of their name, which they often changed when they ascended the throne. It wasn’t a title so much as an assumed legal name. The formally was general “Imperator Caesar [name] Augustus” (which essentially translates as “the one who commands Casaer [name], the majestic one”), but it really started being used as an actual *title* following the 3rd Century Crisis.

      @@TomasFuk-vi4dc It's actually a very interesting and often neglected topic, since A LOT if not most of the "popular" historical movies are made in anglo-saxons countries (mostly USA, UK) these movies are more likely to become popular because of the English language being worldwide or the influence of Hollywood. You add the fact that cinema producer mostly look for "cool" stuff to their movies and not historical accuracy, and it give the perfect anglo-saxons historical movie full of historical clichée and missinformations and since these movies underrate the historical aspect to overrate the action and "coolness" they end up becoming popular and peoples do the mistake to learn from movies instead reliable official sources, and this is how the majority of the population have a "movieish" view of history. Shaped mostly by anglo-centric films.

    @Himmelslaeufer 2 дні тому

    In german, the word "Prince" translates to "Fürst" as well to "Prinz". Prinz = Son of a monarch, Fürst (related to the english word "first") = Ruler of a principality. The "Prince of Wales" is often mistranslated to "Prinz von Wales", although "Fürst von Wales" would be more accurate. It's quite interesting that the english language has only one word for both titles. It's also interesting that most noble titles were used for military leaders or adminstrators and later became heredetery. The german word "Graf" (count) dirived from the byzantine "Grapheus" which translates to "scribe" which shows it's usage for regional administrators, quite similar to the anglo-saxon ealdorman.

Also, the rank of Castellan, it's not a noble title, but often they make it to enter Into the low nobility as a knight below the orders of a Lord, keeping a castle on his name.

    a grand duke wasn't a king not because the area he ruled was quite small (Lithuanian was the biggest country in Europe once, but it was still a duchy, not a kingdom), but rather those titles were appointed by the pope and not all gained his trust and leniency (true for only Christian countries). Though even when Lithuania was a third of it's maximum size and wasn't Christian, they had a king.

      Well, Sultan and King has no significant difference between them, they're ruling a Kingdom or Sultanate. Sultan ruling a Sultanate is using the Islamic law or Sharia. While King ruling a Kingdom can be use by both Muslim or non Muslim countries, and the law edicts by King is more secular than Sultan does. The Ottoman Emperor has its own name, called as Padishah. The word Padishah were from Persian language rather than Turkish, and Padishah means "Emperor" And Shah means King. Same as Amir/Duke, Sheikh/Count. While Archduke in Islamic Nation were often unknown. The word Caliph also slightly different from Emperor. The Emperor is ruling a vast nation within 1 realm, and he is a ruler of the Empire. While Caliph or Khalifa is more like the highest political and religious authority in the Islamic nation aka the Head of Faith same as the Papal State ruled by the Pope and is considered as the highest religious figurehead in Catholic Christians. Unlike the Pope, the title Caliph was often used by the biggest Islamic Empire or Sultanate claiming the protectors of Islamic Realm, so they act as Empire and Caliph at the same time. Ex : Ottoman, Abbasid, Ummayad.
