Having recently read two novels with nobles in them, I looked some stuff up.

Prince → Princess, Duke → Duchess, Viscount → Viscountess, Marquess → Marchioness, Baron → Baroness, Earl → Countess.

"Marchioness" is a bit iffy ("Marquess" should have been the female form, with the male shortened to "Marque" or "Marquer"), but someone really messed up with "Countess" being the female equivalent of "Earl".   #nobility

"Centuries of British political tradition will end within weeks after Parliament voted to remove hereditary aristocrats from the unelected House of Lords."

"On Tuesday night members of the upper chamber dropped objections to legislation passed by the House of Commons ousting dozens of dukes, earls and viscounts who inherited seats in Parliament along with their aristocratic titles."

Did you know Epstein's name & ancestors come from a town in #Germany?

It's even called Eppstein!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein

They even had "nobles" - the Lords of Eppstein.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_of_Eppstein

Wonder if they were also pedos? But I guess back then it was a common thing for nobles to be...

Just some of that #Epstein- #Etymology - #Trivia 🤷

Most of us would try to be noble, if we just had a claque we could depend on.

A quotation from Shakespeare

PERICLES: Kings are Earth’s gods; in vice their law’s their will;
   And if Jove stray, who dares say Jove doth ill?

Pericles, Act 1, sc. 1, l. 108ff (1.1.108-109) (1607) [with George Wilkins]

Árbol genealógico de Don Juan Francisco Ortiz de Rozas, ya fallecido en México, grabado por 1818. Claro que el asunto fue su supuesta hidalguía, la que iba a permitir a su hija enviudada casarse con un oficial de ejército. Fuente: Archivo Militar de Segovia, Célebres, caja 35, expediente 8.

A quotation from Moliere

DON LOUIS: No, no, birth is nothing where virtue is not. […] Know that a man of noble birth who leads an evil life is a monster in nature; virtue is the prime title of nobility; I care much less for the name a man signs than for the deeds he does; and I should feel more esteem for the son of a porter who was a true man, than for the son of a king who lived as you do.
 
[Non, non, la naissance n’est rien où la vertu n’est pas. […] Apprenez enfin qu’un gentilhomme qui vit mal est un monstre dans la nature ; que la vertu est le premier titre de noblesse ; que je regarde bien moins au nom qu’on signe, qu’aux actions qu’on fait, et que je ferais plus d’état du fils d’un crocheteur, qui serait honnête homme, que du fils d’un monarque qui vivrait comme vous.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Don Juan [Dom Juan], Act 4, sc. 6 (1665) [tr. Page (1908)]

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

Compassion is probably the only antitoxin of the soul. Where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. One would rather see the world run by men who set their hearts on toys but are accessible to pity, than by men animated by lofty ideals whose dedication makes them ruthless. In the chemistry of man’s soul, almost all noble attributes — courage, honor, hope, faith, duty, loyalty, etc. — can be transmuted into ruthlessness. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 139 (1955)

🇬🇧 #Britain finally boots out the aristocratic freeloaders after centuries of posh tea parties and crown polishing. 🎩👋 The nobles are probably confused, wondering why anyone would want "democracy" when they had such nice wigs. 🤔👑
