I've done a bit more looking into things.
The nobility on the train actually ranks in the following order:
Contesse Josephine de Verais
Viscount Christian de Redcliffe
Baroness Sophia von Werantz
Sir Henry Westhall
Technically the Contesse was the highest ranking of us and I outranked
the Baroness but I think we can assume that the Contesse was removed
from the chain of command because of her delicate condition and I
deferred to the Baroness because of her expertise when it came to
dealing with the Germans.
For the record, ranks of peerage goes (in a general sense):
Emperor
King
Grand Duke
Archduke
Prince
Duke
Marquess
Earl/Count
Viscount
Baron
Baronet
Knight
The exact names change from country to country but the rough positions
remain the same. You'll notice that there are ranks between king and
prince. Most heirs to the throne have Grand Duke or Archduke titles in
order to put them above other nobility. The whole system gets a touch
fuzzy when you start introducing eclesiastical ranks.
Steve, I did some checking and it seems Christian does have the right
to have a seat in the House of Lords, though I doubt he's ever
actually taken advantage of it.
