"Perversion" ...huh?  Well, all you johnnies-come-lately out of Hammerhold were a little odd.

Meridies had the title in it's Principality Law (I helped write it); however it was for a person who held the Territorial Coronet twice.  With only three Princes that never happened.

Marquis was also considered as a title for members of the Order of the Pelican in 1974; however the BoD chose not to implement that and, to this day, has specificially reserved the title for some un specified future use.

Cathal.
