			A '''title''' is a word used before a person's name to indicate [[rank]]. For instance somebody called Michael who is a [[Duke]] is called Duke Michael. For the most part the title and rank have the same name (as with Duke above), however the title for a male [[knight]]s is [[Sir]].
	A '''title''' is a form of address appropriate to the [[rank]] of a particular person.

	Examples:
	* A person without a title is addressed as "my lord" or "my lady" in the [[SCA]]
	* A [[Lady]] as Lady
	* A [[Lord]] as Lord
	* A [[Knight]] is addressed as [[Sir]] ( Some female knights prefer Dame )
	* A [[Laurel]], [[Pelican]] or [[Master of arms]] is addressed as [[Master]] or [[Mistress]] in the [[SCA]]
	* A [[Viscount]], [[Viscountess]], [[Count]] or [[Countess]] as Your Excellency
	* A [[Duke]] or [[Duchess]] as Your Grace
	* A [[Prince]] or [[Princess]] as Your Highness
	* A [[King]] or [[Queen]] as Your Majesty

	Note that these are the conventional [[English]] versions. Many people prefer titles more appropriate to their [[persona]] eg. ''Graf'' is [[German]] for "Count".

	Note also that [[medieval]] English kings were addressed as "Your Grace". "Your Majesty" is found in letters to King [[Henry VIII]] after about the time he broke with the [[Church]] of [[Rome]] (watch the gradual transition from "your grace" to "your highness" and "your majesty" in the letters addressed to Henry by his wives and daughters at http://englishhistory.net/tudor/letters.html). If you have examples of the use of "Your Majesty" before this time, please cite them here.
