| Note: It is always appropriate to use the term "my lord" or "my lady" when the person's title and/or rank is unknown to you; a noble will not be offended. You may also make a guess, and use a title that is probably higher than that they have been awarded; the noble in question will likely thank you for the compliment, and gently tell you their highest title or suggest the proper term to be used for them. | ||||
For those with multiple titles, use the highest or preferred title. For a further level of formality, add additional information such as "Duke Hammerhand Hitshard, Member of the Chivalry, Master of the Laurel, Hold of the Iron Chain, Baron of the Court of An Tir". To bump it up another notch: "His Grace Sir Hammerhand Hitshard, Duke of An Tir, Master of the Laurel, Hold of the Iron Chain, Baron of the Court of An Tir." These are especially nice for the opening and for the final round of a tourney, or on formal occasions. Otherwise, the shorter single title with name is appropriate.
