Viscounts, counts, marquises, dukes
These were the ranks of nobility in the West. From high to low, they were Duke, Marquis, Earl, and Viscount. Dukes were the first class of nobles and had the highest status. There were three origins of the title: one was the military chief of the Germanic tribe during the disintegration of the European clan society; the second was the military chief of the ancient Roman tribe; and the third was the general of the border province in the ancient Roman era. In Britain, the first dukes were all members of the royal family. After the 15th century, a small number of non-royal members could also be dukes. Marquis was the second level of nobility. During the reign of Charlemagne, it referred to the governor of the border region with special full authority, equivalent to the marquis. After the division of Charlemagne's empire, it became an independent feudal lord. After the strengthening of the feudal royal power, the marquis became a title between the duke and the count. It was only after the 10th to 14th centuries that its status was confirmed to be above the count. Earls had a long history in England. Before Black Prince Edward was made Duke in 1237, it was the highest title in England. This title originated from Scandinavia's Denmark. In the Roman Empire, counts were the emperor's attendants, in charge of military, civil, and financial power. Sometimes, they also served as local officials. After the feudal system was strengthened, they could become hereditary feudal lords. Later, their status gradually declined, between marquises and viscounts. Viscounts were first conferred by King Charlemagne in the 8th century. They were originally the names of state officials in the Kingdom of Francia. At first, they were the deputy of the count, but later they existed independently and could be hereditary. In the 15th century, the title of Viscount was introduced to England.

Counts and Dukes
In the European aristocratic system, a duke was the first rank of nobility. Initially, this title was given to tribal leaders. If a larger lord in an unconquered area attached himself to or was conquered, he might be granted the title. After the king established a country or ascended the throne, he would also be granted a new duke. For example, the Duke of Normandie in France. Earls were the third level of nobility. During the Caroline Dynasty, the count was the local governor, roughly equivalent to the county magistrate, and was mostly appointed by the king to serve as a local tyrant. In the later stages, they would become the local representatives of dukes or marquises. As the power of duchies or marquises weakened, some counts would become the center of power. In the UK, the knighthood system was divided into five grades, including dukes, counts, and so on. In addition, the word " Earl " was also used for brand names. For example, Earl Piaget was a well-known Swiss watch and jewelry brand that began in 1874. There were also foods related to Earl Grey tea, such as Earl Grey tea mooncakes.
