Talk:Forms of Address

Needs section on Baronial titles, both landed and court.

A few questions -

For grants, I've read also "The Honourable Bob/Mary" (vs. "The Honourable Lord Bob" or "The Honourable Lady Mary.) Is this an option, not used here, or other?

Also, looks like it's missing info for forms of address for royalty (that is, current prince/princess, king/queen, etc.). I'm happy to take a swipe at it, but there's a few fiddly bits I'm murky on (regional specific descriptors mostly - such as "Their Alpine Highnesses). Say, does An Tir have a regional descriptor? I've heard "the Sable Lion Thrones", but don't recall anything in the way of "Their *descriptor* Majesty". Example - Ealdormere is "Your Lupine Majesty". I would suspect "Your Leonine Majesty", but I've never heard it.

Finally, I also read mention of a custom of those in fealty to their majesties using "My Leige" vs. "Your Majesty"? --Michelino di Gino Martini 16:08, 2 Feb 2007 (PST)

For discussion: under "Royalty: The heirs to the principality thrones/coronet."

The term "ban-Tanista" is incorrect I believe. It is either "ban-Tanist" or "Tanista", depending on Principality and/or period preference. The prefix 'ban-' and the suffix '-a' do the same thing - feminize the title 'Tanist' - so you wouldn't use the two together.

In Tir Righ, ban-Tanist is preferred, whereas (I believe) in Avacal they generally use Tanista.
