Marquesses are mentioned once, on page 46, ruling border/unstable regions.

Random thought; Cardiel was conquered and settled starting circa 1470. Cardiel rebelled circa 1789. I think it's entirely plausible that no one is changing the levels of titles around and so none of the titles correspond to the relative powers of their fief. There may very well be a Duke Ricardo of the Lake floating about, but he could be politically irrelevant. I also think it's plausible that the Council of Lords is itself elected by the nobles.
