[MR] No Marquis??

[Robert Day]

King once & Prince once = 3 titles?

So when you step down from the second reign, you would receive two titles? 
Either you were a Viscount, and step down to be a Count & a Marquis, or you 
were a Count, that steps down to be a
Viscount & a Marquis.

It seems a bit much for a second reign.

Why not set up an additional group, between Barony & Princapality, and give 
the ruling noble the tital of Marquis.

In service to Atlantia,
Syr Otto von Schwartzkatz, Baron of Marinus
