I have a question about someone involved in nobilary circles. I keep seeing Bob Juchter Van Bergen Quast inserted into as many conversations around nobility and honours as possible, and I'm wondering who this guy is.

He runs a number of websites, uses many iterations of his name, and edits Wikipedia to promote his family name. He also runs a website trashing others in the honours circles.

What's his deal? Is this a real person? He's listed on Rip Off Reports as having ripped someone off and used that money for luxury spending. Not sure whatever happened on the legal side.

So tell me what's up with the guy.

So i have two questions that may be dumb, that i want the answer from.

Q1. The princess of monaco’s title is “Princess Antoinette, baroness of massy” how is she a princess but also a baroness?

Q2. This question is also linked to the first question, E.g , “countess of devonshire”, Clearly she’s the countess of devonshire, But responsibilities does she have the devonshire? Does she rule it, is it a county, since shire was also a synonym of county, but i’m not really sure.

While I understand it is considered an archaic word, I'm wondering about how it was used. Specifically, could it be used by one member of the house staff to another member about the father of the house? I.e. "Sire So-and-so has need of transportation." If so, would it be with 1st name, surname, or full name?

Hi, I'm looking for information on the Roses of  (Haddenham, Waddesdon, Aylesbury, Cuddington , England). In particular their family alliances. They are not connected to the Rose lines of Scotland (kilravock Castle).

I am fascinated by the historical account of an “almost” offer on behalf of the US Continental Congress to Prince Frederick Henry Louis of Prussia the title of Monarchy of the United States. I haven’t been able to find descendants of the Prince and maybe this is because he had a penchant for homosexuality. Does anyone know if there are any contemporary descendants?

How do they differ from a Graf? What are the responsibilities of each title?

Hello all

I haven't posted to this sub before, but I have a question relating to the titles of Sir and Dame:

Is there a common title that covers both men and women?

The reason that I am asking is that I am writing an RPG and I really like how the video game Dragon Age handles both genders under a common "ser". I would prefer a real title though, if one such exists.

Looking to get general info on counts. My great grandmother told my mother when she was younger that we were descendants of (what she recalls, and without any knowledge of spelling) Count De Mandel. Wondering if every count in history would be located online somewhere, or if there were less known back in the day that would've dissappear ed. Nothing too close comes up... but she told my mother it was a strong bloodline. Whatever that means.

If anyone is an expert historian, would be greatly appreciated for some direction. We're a mix of all brits, but my mom thinks she remembers being told he was a french count. She gets confused easily though so I'm doubtful of that. Ive found some that are similar (ish) but nothing that would sound like mandel/mandelle/mondel etc. Something thats always driven my curiosity. Thanks.
