      watching ENOLA HOLMES with @cearo_thyme got me thinking I have no fuckin clue what the difference between a Marquis and a Marquess is, or in what if any contexts other than RHCP songs the word is pronounced "mahr-KEE"

      Trust the British to make a complicated peerage chart with two nigh identical ranks. It's like if we had President and Presidente

      They don't, it's a marquess in Britain and a marquis in France

      ok but no, this is *bizarre* - according to Wikipedia, almost *every single* European language [except German, but including French] has words cognate to both margrave and marquis, which it doesn't seem like correspond to two distinct ranks.

      Hmm? Marquess and marquis are literally the same thing spelled differently Do you mean the masculine and feminine forms? Because in English "marquess" is male and "marchioness" is female, in French the male is "marquis" and the female is "marquise"

      I mean a large number of European languages have a "margrave" equivalent and a "marquis/marquess" equivalent, e.g. Italian margravio / marchese

      Ah okay Apparently that's a legacy of the Holy Roman Empire - it was a title given out by the HRE and therefore people who held it had a greater degree of sovereignty than people appointed as a marquis by a local king

          I wonder how this intersects with inheritance structures like gavelkind.

          Another fun fact is that the title "grave" for "count" in France was a homonym for "grave" meaning "heavy" or "weight" The original basic metric unit of weight was the grave, the weight of one liter of water, with one thousandth of a grave called a gram

          But after the French Revolution the anti-aristocracy sentiment was so intense that the name "grave" was considered unacceptable, so it was renamed a "kilogram" This is why today we have the awkward fact that the official base unit of mass in SI is called the "kilogram"
