What is a duke, duchess, and baron?

English
2 answers:
Elodia [21]3 years ago

Dukes and duchesses ruled areas called "duchies". These duchies were rarely their own countries, and usually parts of a larger sovereign country ruled by a king and queen. So there would be one king and one queen ruling a country, for example, but there could be several dukes and duchesses ruling smaller territories of the country. Dukes and duchesses are always lower than kings and queens.

Barons and baronesses are the lowest ranking of the nobles. I'm not certain what power they had but I'm pretty sure the title was mostly honorary.

A basic hierarchy would look something like this:

Emperor/Empress

King/Queen

Archduke

Grand Duke

Prince/Princess

Duke/Duchess

Marquess/Marchioness

Earl

Baron/Baroness

I'm pretty sure I left a few titles out, but hopefully that answered your question.

Answer:

A duke is the member of nobility that ranks just below the monarch. A duke is a ruler of a 'duchy' (county, territory or domain). It's also tradition for men of the royal family to get a new title when they marry - often taking on duke status.

A duchess is the wife or widow of a duke, or a woman who equal holds the rank of duke in her own right. Baron is a rank of nobility or title of honor, often hereditary. The female equivalent is baroness.

A baron is a member of the lowest order of the British nobility. A baron is a nobleman — a member of the aristocracy. Barons are also important, powerful businessmen with huge influence over their industries.

Describe the main conflict and the main solution from Chapter Twenty-One of LYDDIE
Ahat [919]

Answer:

In the climax of the book, Mr Mardsen said that she was a troublemaker and Lyddie denied these complains, he did it again and was fired from the mill.

Lyddie is helping new girls get used to the factory life. She also sticks up for Brigid by dumping a bucket of water on her boss, Mr. Marsden when he tries to becomes inappropriately romantic with Brigid. Mr. Marsden gets Lyddie fired by saying that she has a problem with moral turpitude. This basically means that she is immoral, but since Lyddie does not know what the word means she cannot defend herself. This is a turning point for Lyddie because when she is fired she makes it a point to better educate herself. Since she is not granted a certificate of honorable discharge, she cannot get another job at a mill.
