The '''peerage system in Mesogeia''' refers to the legal system of hereditary and non-hereditary titles of [[Mesogeia]]n nobility. As a whole members of the Mesogeian nobility are referred to as Peers. Their are six ranks in the Mesogeian peerage, King, Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Lord. The Empress of Mesogeia in the position of the fount of honour is the grantor of all peerages and titles. Being the fount of honour and legal grantor of all peerages the sovereign cannot be a member of the peerage, despite this fact the current Empress as inherited several titles that would be considered peerages if they were held by anyone other then the monarch.

==History==
The peerage system in Mesogeia traces its origins to the reign of Alexander IX in the 4th century BC when he awarded his trusted generals and closest companions the titles of King.  Since then the peerage system in Mesogeia has evolved over thousands of years. It has its origins in the ancient kingdoms, principalities and states of ancient Mesogeia.  
The peerage system in Mesogeia traces its origins to the 5th and 4th centuries BC, when trusted generals and close companions of emperors began to be awarded royal titles.  Since then the peerage system in Mesogeia has evolved over thousands of years. It has its origins in the ancient kingdoms, principalities and states of ancient Mesogeia.  


The Mesogeian peerage system is unique in the fact that its highest rank is that of King and not Duke. The rank of Duke is instead the second highest rank of Mesogeian nobility. Ever since the 4th century BC creation of the title of King of Isauris for Seleucus by Emperor Alexander IX, various titles have been added to the Mesogeian peerage system including Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Lord, the lowest member of the Mesogeian peerage system.
The Mesogeian peerage system is unique in the fact that its highest rank is that of King and not Duke. The rank of Duke is instead the second highest rank of Mesogeian nobility and the highest non-royal rank. Ever since the 4th century BC confirmation of the title of King of Ardistan for General Hydarnes, various titles and have been added to the Mesogeian peerage system including Duke, Prince, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Lord, the lowest member of the Mesogeian peerage system.


While the Mesogeian nobility largely adhere to the Mesogeian Orthodox faith there are a number of exceptions to the rule, most notably there are several Olympianist noble families, and there are even a few members of the Aletheic faith in the Mesogeian nobility. For instance the King of Fars is the highest ranking olympianist in the nation.
While the Mesogeian nobility largely adhere to the Mesogeian Apostolic faith there are a number of exceptions to the rule, most notably there are several Aletheic noble families, and there are even a few members of the Avestist faith in the Mesogeian nobility.

Latest revision as of 00:28, 23 May 2023

The peerage system in Mesogeia refers to the legal system of hereditary and non-hereditary titles of Mesogeian nobility. As a whole members of the Mesogeian nobility are referred to as Philoi "Friends" or "Peers". There are seven ranks in the Mesogeian peerage, King, Duke, Prince, Marquess, Count, Viscount, and Lord. The Empress of Mesogeia in the position of the fount of honour is the grantor of all peerages and titles. Being the fount of honour and legal grantor of all peerages the sovereign cannot be a member of the peerage, despite this fact the current Empress as inherited several titles that would be considered peerages if they were held by anyone other then the monarch.

History

The peerage system in Mesogeia traces its origins to the 5th and 4th centuries BC, when trusted generals and close companions of emperors began to be awarded royal titles. Since then the peerage system in Mesogeia has evolved over thousands of years. It has its origins in the ancient kingdoms, principalities and states of ancient Mesogeia.

The Mesogeian peerage system is unique in the fact that its highest rank is that of King and not Duke. The rank of Duke is instead the second highest rank of Mesogeian nobility and the highest non-royal rank. Ever since the 4th century BC confirmation of the title of King of Ardistan for General Hydarnes, various titles and have been added to the Mesogeian peerage system including Duke, Prince, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Lord, the lowest member of the Mesogeian peerage system.

While the Mesogeian nobility largely adhere to the Mesogeian Apostolic faith there are a number of exceptions to the rule, most notably there are several Aletheic noble families, and there are even a few members of the Avestist faith in the Mesogeian nobility.


List of Extent peerages of the Mesogeian empire

Extant Kings in the Mesogeian Empire

Mesogeia is an empire, ruled by one sovereign, however there has existed various subnational kingdoms and dynasties owing allegiance to the Emperors at Alexandropolis. They include the Hydarnisides, Ariarathidis, Seleukidis, Antigonidis, Magonidis-Lysimachidis, Lagidais, Pharnavazis, Sassan, Mithridatidis, Traxianaos-Euthydemidis-Voreistanidis, Arsacides, Foínikas, reigning as Kings of Ardistan, Kappadokia Isauris, Turchia, Vanatagallia, Pharosia, Iberion, Farsia, Paralia, Transigozania, Aparnia, and Phocaea.

The families bearing the highest title below that of Emperor are some of the oldest families in Mesogeia, some going back further then the current imperial house.

Certain families bearing the kingly rank are the holders of several titles in addition to their main title. The Wardens of the North, Interior, South, East, and West all play a significant role in the coronation ceremony, with the Warden of the North bearing the Imperial crown, the Warden of the Interior bearing the Imperial mantle, the Warden of the South bearing the Imperial Globus cruciger, the Warden of the East bearing the Imperial sword, and the Warden of the West bearing the Imperial Sceptre.

The remaining dynasts while not holding the rank of Warden, are nonetheless very important.
