The Peerage of Sydalon is a hereditary distinction in the Sydalene nobility that encompasses a small number of individual nobles. Titles in the Peerage of Sydalon are held by the most prestigious, and highest-ranking indiviudals of Sydalene nobility. This differs from other peerage systems abroad that encompass nearly all titled nobility. The title of Peer of Sydalon is an additional honorific granted to those that are domain monarchs, princes of the blood holding an appanage, and princes of the blood holding a titular ducal title.

History

At the creation of the Kingdom of Sydalon after the First Crusade in 1237, a number of fiefs were granted by the Pope or Monarch of Sydalon. Originally, 13 fiefdoms were granted below the Monarch and are collectively known as ancient peers. These peers were attached to specific fief and territorial designation and were the chief vassals of the Monarch. Of these original 13 peers, only 6 remain exant with 5 currently functioning as modern domains in Sydalon. The remainder have since merged into the crown. As the highest remaining peer in precedence, the Prince of Montgisard is the most senior and most prestigious Peer of Sydalon.

The traditional thirteen peers are (in order of precedence):

  1. Prince of Ostracine
  2. Prince of Montgisard
  3. Duke of Philippopolis
  4. Duke of Toron
  5. Duke of Hayan
  6. Duke of Vescera
  7. Duke of Esebon
  8. Count of Melfi
  9. Count of Batroun
  10. Count of Rema
  11. Count of Belveer
  12. Count of Cuicul
  13. Count of Mirabel

Within their domains, peers collect revenue from land dues, property, and salaries from offices held at the royal level. Peers play a key role in the anointing of the Monarch and are granted other dignities, such as the right to audience with the Monarch at time of convenience, attend sessions of Parliament at their leisure, and serve as chief exectutive within their respective domains.

Blood domains

At the advent of the kingdom, secondary sons of the Monarch were granted appanges from within the Royal Domain in order to prevent revolts and were used as an extension of royal power in these areas. The first appanage created was the Principality of Adelon in 1361 to the illegitimate son of King William V. These titles were much more restricted than the traditional ancient peers. Appanages in Sydalon are most commonly referred to as Blood Domains. They earn their name as being held by princes of the blood, and may be only inherited by male descendants of the grantee, excluding daughters. The lands cannot be sold, or otherwise transmitted, and revert to the Crown upon the line's extinction. Since the 1600s, blood domain titles of comital rank are traditionally elevated to ducal rank upon granting.

Blood domains remain part of the Royal Domain, though today still serve an administrative purpose within the Royal Domain. Currently two blood domains exist: Duke of Esebon and Duke of Rema. While Adelon was originally created as a blood domain, it is often considered among the ancient peers due to its status as a first-level domain.

Duke of Royal Blood

Male-line descendants of the Monarch are considered Prince or Princess of the Blood. Younger sons of the Monarch are generally granted a ducal title, whether a blood domain or more common in modern times, created a Duke of Royal Blood. These dukes are afforded the status of Peer of Sydalon, and are typically granted rights over a much smaller territorial designation when compared to blood domains. In most instances, this dignity is ceremonial. Currently there are X Dukes of Royal Blood.
