Which is higher lord or earl?
no, an earl owns land, but isn't royal. a lord is royal. that may not be right, i believe the prior answer may be backwards, i think earls are usually royal family members such as cousins that are given land, and a lord is someone who is the owner of some land
Could a person be a lord and a vassal at the same time?
No. A vassal works for the lord. The only way they could be the same is the lord is a vassal for a person of higher nobility than he is like a king. A Duke could be the vassal of the king because he has pledged his support to the king. Unlike a vassal working the lords land the Duke could change his alliance to the King changing his support to another.
Which is the order of rank duke earl baron lord viscount marquis?
"Five ranks of peer exist in the United Kingdom, in descending order, these are: duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron. The title 'Lord' is used most often by barons who are rarely addressed with any other. The style of this address is 'Lord (X)', for example, Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, is commonly known as 'Lord Tennyson'. The ranks of marquess, earl and viscounts commonly use lord as well, with viscounts using the same style as used for baron. However, marquesses and earls have a slightly different form of address where they can be called either the 'Marquess/Earl of (X)' or 'Lord (X)'. Dukes also use the style, 'Duke of (X)', but it is not acceptable to refer to them as 'Lord (X)'. Dukes are formally addressed as 'Your Grace', rather than 'My Lord'."Use the little mnemomic: "Do Men Ever Visit Boston."
