Re: Official titles and Rank or Status
I've been trying to work out some religious rank titles, so perhaps this will help both of us:
Religious Rank of Yrth Church Officials (Banestorm p184) Rank Title 6 Archbishop, grand master of a great order 5 Bishop, grand master of a lesser order 4 Head of a powerful abbey or minor order 3 Head of a minor abbey 2 Senior priests 1 Common priests 0 Extremely minor local priests Religious Rank (Catholic, preliminary) Rank Title 8 The Pope 7 Cardinal, especially respected archbishop? 6 Archbishop, grand master of a great order 5 Bishop, grand master of a lesser order 4 Head of a powerful abbey or minor order 3 Head of a minor abbey 2 Senior priests, priors/prioresses 1 Common priests, respected monks, nuns, and friars 0 Extremely minor local priests; monks, nuns, and friars Where do Canons, deacons, and other odd titles go? Religious Rank (Anglican, preliminary) Rank Title 8 Supreme Govenor 7 Primate 6 Archbishop, grand master of a great order 5 Bishop, grand master of a lesser order 4 Head of a powerful abbey or minor order 3 Head of a minor abbey 2 Senior priests 1 Common priests 0 Extremely minor local priests Where do Canons, deacons, and other odd titles go? Does the CoE even *have* abbeys anymore?

Re: Official titles and Rank or Status
Examples, not exhaustive.
Feudal (English) The grades during all but the last century of the mediaeval were:
Aristocratic (English)
French Feudal
German, late pseudo-feudal
That's a drastic and probably erroneous simplification of a complicated system consisting mostly of special cases. Military (Renaissance or Enlightenment)
That is, you have a captain, his lieutenant, and a sergeant-major commanding at the company, column, and general (army) level. Police
Religious (Catholic, mostly)
Government (Westminster System)
Is that the sort of thing you wanted?
