==Knight==
Knights were people who came from high ranking families, or were people that had distinguished themselves in battle.
In modern times, all Knights have the right to take on 2 boys of the ages 12-17 as squires. While squires in modern times differ from those in the past, they do still help their masters in their knightly duties. This is a task in addition to their education, and will therefore only happen during the weekends. Due to the strict rules enforced in modern times, over 90% of the squires in Aswick are close family of the Knight. One of the advantages of having their sons as squires, is to keep the family's knightly status.


Due to the risk assosciated with their vocation, serving members of the Military cannot typically take on squires, with the exception of flag officers. Flag officers generally sponsor one junior Other Rank out of every class (Within the officer's branch, of course), who are given more consideration for advancement.


In modern times, the Knight is also obligated to provide a stipend for their Squires.

The Peerage of Aswick comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of Aswick and Scotia.

Until the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999, all Peers of Aswick could sit in the House of Lords. (Women peers of Aswick were only granted seats with the Peerage Act 1963).

The ranks of the Aswick peerage are, in descending order, Duke, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. While most newer Aswickan peerages descend only in the male line, many of the older ones (particularly older baronies) can descend through females. Under Aswickan inheritance law all daughters are co-heirs, so many older Aswickan peerage titles have fallen into abeyance between various female co-heirs.

Baronets, while holders of hereditary titles, are not peers and do not confer nobility. Knights, Dames, and holders of other non-hereditary orders, decorations, and medals of Aswick are also not peers. For the sake of simplicity, however, explanations of Baronets and Knightly titles are included.

In the following table, each peer is listed only by his or her highest English title, showing higher or equal titles in the other peerages.

King/Queen

The King (or Queen) is the ruler of the Kingdom of Aswick. (S)He has absolute power.

The form of adress of the Monarch is the following:


Prince-Consort

The Prince-Consort is the husband of a female ruler (The Queen). This is because traditionally, the King always outranked a Queen. Therefore, in the event that Aswick would get a female ruler, it was established that the husband of that ruler would not get the title of King because of their marriage.

Crown Prince(ss)

The Crown Prince is generally the eldest child of the King/Queen. In the event that the ruler has no issue, his/her younger brother or sister would get it. Because Aswickan Royalty has an Agnatic-Cognatic inheritance, younger brothers will go before elder sisters. They are always the Prince (Princess) of Scotia, and the Duke (regardless of gender) of Jamestown.

Prince/Princess

Basically every member of the Royal family that is not the King/Queen, or the Crown Prince/Princess. Princes and Princesses can also have another title behind their name. If Prince Generic also holds the title of Arl of Creation, he'd be known as "Prince Generic, Arl of Creation".
