Ranks
The traditional European noble ranks are these:
king—OE cyning
prince—Lt. princeps princip- ‘first’
duke—Lt. dux duc- ‘leader’
marquis—‘frontier (lord)’
count/earl—Lt. comes comit- ‘companion’ / OE eorl
viscount—Fr. ‘under-count’
baron—Germanic ‘warrior, free man’
knight—OE cniht
The ranks should mostly be taken as a rough guide to the size and importance of the estate. (Only rarely did a lower noble actually hold his estate from a higher.)
In Britain prince is restricted to the royal family, but elsewhere it may be a title in itself— e.g. Monaco is still a principality. German distinguishes Prinz ‘monarch’s son’ from Fürst ‘monarch who is not a king’.
