| The '''peerage''' is a legal system of largely hereditary titles in the [[Latin Empire]], which is constituted by the ranks of Latin nobility. The term is used both collectively to refer to the entire body of noble titles, and individually to refer to a specific title. As a group, holders of a peerage are referred to as peers. | | {{WIP}} |

| ==History== | | The '''nobility of Latium''' are individuals and families, as recognized by the [[Monarchy of Latium|Latin monarch]] or other sovereign, that enjoy hereditary privileges that distinguish them from other individuals or families. Nobility originates from ancient [[wikipedia:Patrician (ancient Rome)|patricians]], gradually evolving into a more complex system of hereditary, and a system of non-hereditary court titles, offices, and functions that confer nobility upon its holder. The system of nobility is also referred to as |
| Peerages in [[Latium]] trace their history back to the reign of Emperor [[Constantine X of Latium|Constantine X]] in the late 10th century, and to the reign of his son, [[Felix I Nero of Latium|Felix I]], and the creation of a feudal system as the more centralized Imperial government began to decline as Latium expanded across southern Belisaria. Initially, it is speculated that the very first peerages created were dukedoms given to prominent military commanders under Constantine X, but mostly under his son Felix I as awards for loyalty in his wars of conquest and civil conflicts. It is thought that at first these command titles, called ''Dux'' were not hereditary, with only the first instance of {{wp|Letters patent|letters patent}} creating a hereditary dukedom wasn't until 1139 and the creation of The Duke of Adrianople - a royal dukedom in its creation. This became more common practice over time, with military commanders being awarded estates, titles, and various rights and privileges to better provide them with incomes.
| | ==Forms of nobility== |
| | | Latin nobility is not a closed system, allowing individuals not born into nobility to be elevated into the system. There is a distinction between nobility and hereditary titles, however most nobility is non-hereditary titled. All members of nobility are considered counts ([[Standard Latin language|Latin]]: ''comes'', lit. companions of the emperor), leading to the system also being referred to as the ''comes'' system. Within this system there are five distinguished classes. Among these classes are a mix of hereditary and non-hereditary titles, and nobility afforded to holders of court titles or offices, and children of the monarch. This system of nobility can allow for individuals to be a member of multiple classes simultaneously. |
| At times, these early dukes would rule a certain jurisdiction granted to them from the emperor, ruling over lesser lords and so on. Later emperors would create counts and even marches to govern areas on the periphery of the empire. These feudal lords were expected to provide soldiers for the Imperial army and pay taxes to the Crown. Holders of all titles were afforded the privilege to hold a seat in the Latin senate. The breakdown of the Latin feudal system finally occurred in Abolition Edict of 1629, which officially abolished the system, and removed the military obligations of the lords, imposed taxes and led to the creation of appointed Lord-Lieutenancies to replace the military obligations of any given county in Latium. Since their inception, there have been no feudal lords or peers in major urban areas such as Alexandria and Castellum (Adrianople being the sole exception), due to the existence of urban prefects.
| | ===Comes system=== |
| | | *Counts First Class: Individuals serving on the [[Sacred Assembly]] are automatically afforded the rank and privilege of Counts First Class. These positions are non-hereditary court and administrative state offices appointed by the Monarch, broadly similar to Great Officers of State in other realms. This rank affords the holder the style of <nowiki>"The Illustrious"</nowiki> (''Vir illustris''). Men or women appointed to this rank continue to hold this style for life. |
| However, most peerages created by Latin kings and emperors are currently extinct due to the [[Social War]] and it's targeted attacks against the Crown and nobility. Prior to the war, there were over 30 extant dukes, 8 marchis, nearly 50 counts, 13 viscounts, and hundreds of lords. In practice, duchies are no longer awarded to non-Imperial family members, and even then it is the reigning monarch's sole discretion to grant a title of ducal ranking, though there is no rule barring the creation of non-Imperial duchies. Marchis and Viscount titles, are unusual in Latium and have been rarely awarded. It is said that both Marchis and Viscounts were created when it was wished that they not become dukes or counts, though marches have typically been awarded for territorial designations around Latium's periphery. The first instances of a county title being awarded was in the 13th century. Lordships are currently the only peerages that are granted, though one has not been granted since the 1972. In practice, today only life peerages of <nowiki>"Lord"</nowiki> ranking are granted by the Emperor. The sole exception to this was in the creation of the hereditary peerage of The Countess of Aarhusium for [[Zoe Verruscosi]] by her son [[Constantine XX of Latium|Emperor Constantine XX]] on 13 March 2017; however her titles will revert back to to the crown after the first Countess's death.
| | *Counts Second Class: Individuals appointed to the role of [[Count Palatine (Latium)|Count Palatine]], consist of the second class counts. This class of count confers the style of <nowiki>"The Glorious"</nowiki> (''vir gloriosus''/''gloriosissimus''). |
| | | *Counts Third Class: At his or her discretion, the Monarch may confer the title of <nowiki>"Duke"</nowiki> upon an individual. The title of duke may be hereditary or non-hereditary depending on the warrant of grant issued by the Monarch. This rank confers the style of <nowiki>"The Magnificent"</nowiki> (''vir magnificus''). This class typically does not include sons of the Monarch. |
| ==Peerages==
| | *Counts Fourth Class: Also known as the Senatorial class, is the oldest class of count. Individuals are afforded style of <nowiki>"The Most Admirable"</nowiki> (''vir spectabilis'') and the title of Senator. This class of nobility is required in order to serve on the [[Council of Magistrates]]. |
| The Monarch cannot hold a peerage himself as he or she is considered the fount of honor and, as <nowiki>"source of all dignities cannot hold a dignity from himself."</nowiki> If an individual is neither the Emperor, a peer nor a citizen of patrician rank, he or she is a commoner. Nobility in Latium is based on bloodline, which affords nobility to entire families, more specifically to the immediate family of the Emperor or a peer. Members of the peerage carry the titles of Duke, Marchis, Count, Viscount and Lord. Peers ranked from Viscount to Lord are frequently referred to generically as Lords. Titles may only be derived from the Emperor's person. Should a peer die without an heir lawfully eligible to succeed them within the confides of their remainder, the title will revert to and merge into the Crown. In situations similar to this in the past, occasionally the monarch would recreate the peerage and grant it to a member of the same family. This has occurred with the Lordships of Capua and County of Utica, etc. The selling of titles, or granting of titles from persons other than the monarch, is illegal by national law, and constitutes fraud, with a maximum penalty of fifty years in prison and the possibility of a fine for £250,000. This does not include when a peer disclaims themselves by presenting an instrument of disclaimer to Lord High Chancellor.
| | *Counts Fifth Class: This is considered the entry class of nobility, and the rank that hereditary nobles are automatically afforded at birth. It is considered the equivalent to the ancient status of patrician, often resulting in the firth class being referred to as patrician rank. All children of a member of any class of nobility are also afforded this rank. It affords the style of <nowiki>"The Most Renowned"</nowiki> (''vir clarissimus''). |
| | | ==Privileges== |
| In modern practice, generally only members of the Imperial Family are granted new hereditary peerages. However, one does not need to be a peer in order to be a member of Latin nobility, as families holding Patrician standing are still considered at minimum members of lesser nobility. Where all peers are patricians, not all patricians are peers. Certain personal privileges are afforded to all peers and peeresses, such as a hereditary seat in the [[Senate of the Latin Empire|Senate]]. The claim to an existing hereditary peerage is regulated by the Imperial Offices and through it's Senatorial counterpart, the Committee for Privileges and Conduct, which is composed solely of [[Senate of the Latin Empire#Life Senators|Life Senators]].
| | ==Duties== |
| ===Order of precedence===
| |
| The general order of precedence is set according to the age of the peerage itself. By the Grace of the Emperor, a newer peerage may be granted higher preference than an older one, however this rarely occurs. Imperial duchies, while the holder is afforded the title of ''His Imperial Highness'' and being of a closer relationship to the Emperor, are typically newer peerages and usually rank lower unless otherwise stipulated. The Prince of Youth holds precedence above all dukes and other peers, royal and non-royal and is the Duke of Galata and Duke of Alba.

| ==Styles and titles==
| |
| Dukes and Marchis are styled as ''His Grace'', Counts and Lords use ''His Lordship'' and other peers, including life peers, may utilize The Right Honorable. Peeresses (whether they hold peerages in their own right or are wives of peers) use equivalent styles. In speech, any peer or peeress except a Duke or Duchess may be referred to as Lord X or Lady X. A peer is referred to by his peerage even if it is the same as his surname, thus Doux Palaiologi is "Doux Palaiologi" not "Doux Konstantinos Palaiologi", though these incorrect forms are commonly used. Lordships differ in this respect from most other peerages, and follow as Lord X of peerage. For example the Lord of Capua is referred to as Lord Vispasius of Capua or The Lord Vispasius. Some peers, particularly life peers who were well known before their ennoblement, do not use their peerage titles in everyday life.
| |
| | |
| Individuals who use the style Lord or Lady are not necessarily peers in their own right. Children of peers use special titles called courtesy titles. The heir apparent of a duke, a count, or a lord generally uses his father's next highest peerage dignity as his own. Hence, the Duke of Vindóbona's son is properly addressed as ''His Grace'' The Marquis Volaterrae. Upon the death of a peer, the children of the former holder may be addressed as ''The Right Honorable'' Lord X or Lady X and they lose all use of their courtesy title. The widow of a peer may continue to use the peerage in address and style until their child marries, upon which they are often referred to as Dowager Duchess or Countess or Lady of X.
| |
| | |
| ===Forms of address===
| |
| | |
| ==Succession==
| |
| Peerage succession guidelines are found in each peerage granting instrument. While it is possible in theory for no two peerages to have the same succession rules, generally the most common form of succession is {{wp|agnatic}}, meaning that succession only happens through the male line. This often appears in the granting instrument as <nowiki>"heirs male of the body lawfully begotten"</nowiki>. While agnatic is the norm, a number of peerages operate under {{wp| Primogeniture#Male-preference primogeniture|male-preference primogeniture}}, allowing for female succession that male heirs and their successors are unable to succeed to the peerage.
| |
| ==Privilege of peerage==
| |
| Historically peers, and in some cases close family members, were granted a number of privileges. The most notable privilege is the right to a hereditary seat in the [[Senate of the Latin Empire|Senate]] as a Life Senator. The privilege of senators and agents of the state was historically tied to those of a peerage, however in modern times {{wp|Parliamentary privilege|senatorial privilege}} is wholly separate. Prior to the 20th century, peers were afforded the freedom from arrest except in matters of treason. This privilege has since been provided to sitting Members of the Senate. Another privilege is access to the Monarch; this remains a privilege. Perhaps one of the largest privileges that no longer exists are laws strictly prohibiting the defamation of any peer or immediate family member, this was later revoked following the Social War and the Constitution Act. Peers and members of the nobility are allowed trial by peers, meaning that should a peer require a jury trial, the jury shall be selected from holders of a peerage or related nobility. This remains a key privilege of peerage today.
