The royal titles are often distinct from those of the nobility even if they maintain the same names. The rules that the current thrones of [[Grensalbourg]], and the [[Hveden Federation]] follow are directly inherited from the [[Monarchy of Empherias]]. This is because the Hveden royal family, related to the Empheri one, was restored following political strife and thus modelled itself off of [[Empherias]]. When the throne of Grensalbourg was established, it was a complete transfer from Empherias. Thus, when the two fused in the personal union, the Hveden model (which had already been very much based on the Empheri system) was abandoned in favour of the Empheri system being used currently for the Grensalbourg throne.
The monarchy of Empherias, and thus the monarchy of Grensalbourg, uses the title of [[Rijkse]] (for men) and [[Rijkdottir]] (for women) for the monarch. This literally translates to son or daughter of the kingdom, and is symbolic of the monarch's duty to serve the kingdom. The spouse of the monarch does not receive a title on-par with the royal. Instead, the spouses are either King (for men), and Queen (for women). The term regent is used for when another royal family member is leading a regency council on behalf of another monarch that is either determined to be incapable of ruling via an act of parliament, or below the age of 18. Regents are used people closest to the monarch, usually uncles or close children - not necessarily the next in line. Spouses, or non-royal-born parents may act as regents and thus monarchs in their own right but only children they have with the monarch are ever in the line of the succession. All regents, and rijkse/rijkdottir's receive a regnal number and are official monarchs.
Line 30 ⟶ 36:
If a title has been given to a Prince, then that title may never be repeated while that person is alive. Only once the title is extinct may it be given again. However, all royal dukes, viscounts, high barons, and barons may be given to multiple people even if they are alive. Furthermore, the titles of ''Count and Countess, Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, Earl and Earlen, and Margrave and Margravine'' are sometimes used exclusively by royals but are often, if used, secondary to higher titles.
== Nobility ==
These honours are often bestowed on the person at their birth, or by inheritance, or by the title being created non-royally by the monarch. All three ranks of nobility usually are landowners, but sometimes they can just own very large estates.
# The highest ranking non-royal birth-right noble title is ''Duke'' or ''Duchess''.
== Clergy ==▼
# The second ranking non-royal birth-right noble title is ''Viscount'' or ''Viscountess''.
# The lowest ranking non-royal birth-right noble title is ''High Baron'' or ''High Baroness''.
== Honours ==
Major titles are sometimes given to those who do great service to the nation. Often, major politicians were earn high ranking titles. For those with gendered ranks, the male is first.
# The highest ranking honorary title is the [[High Royal Marquess or Marquise|''High Royal Marquess'' or ''Marquise'']]. These are given to maybe 2 to 3 people per year since 2447.
# The next ranking honorary title is a [[Baron or Baroness|''Baron'' or ''Baroness'']]. These are given more commonly, and are associated with a major city. It is uncommon for place names to be re-used, but it is a possibility.
# The lowest ranking honorary title is a knighthood. It is stylised by the prefix, ''Sir'' or ''Mrs''. These are given in conjunction with a medal.
