The Imperial Peerage constitutes the highest form of nobility in Shireroth and comes with a unique title of nobility. The absolute majority, more than 99%, of all nobles in Shireroth have no title of nobility, only degree and dignity of nobility.
The '''Imperial Peerage''' constitutes the highest form of nobility in [[Shireroth]] and comes with a unique title of nobility. The absolute majority, more than 99%, of all nobles in Shireroth have no title of nobility, only degree and dignity of nobility.


== Rules ==
== Rules ==
Unless otherwise specified in the imperial decree creating the title, or in subsequent imperial decrees, succession to an imperial title of nobility is done by basis of primogeniture, where:
* only a legitimate descendant (i.e. the birth child of a married couple, or having lived with the parent in question for at least 10 years if adopted or illegitimate at birth)
* older siblings (and their descendants) have preference over younger siblings (and their descendants)
* descendants of an equal marriage have preference over descendants of an unequal marriage
* upon succession to the title, one becomes a Shirerithian citizen with all its obligations and rights; if one does not accept those, the title will pass to the next eligible person on the line of succession to that title.
Some imperial decrees specify other requirements for succession, and in those cases, those rules shall govern the succession for that particular title.


== Ranks ==
== Ranks ==
Peers have either imperial immediacy or mediacy.
Peerages with imperial immediacy are those who have princely or ducal rank. Other peerages may be given immediacy with the suffix Palatine. Palatine nobles thus rank higher than all other mediate nobles. For example, a count palatine ranks higher than a marquess, though a marquess ranks higher than a count.

The Imperial Peerage constitutes the highest form of nobility in Shireroth and comes with a unique title of nobility. The absolute majority, more than 99%, of all nobles in Shireroth have no title of nobility, only degree and dignity of nobility.

Rules

Unless otherwise specified in the imperial decree creating the title, or in subsequent imperial decrees, succession to an imperial title of nobility is done by basis of primogeniture, where:

  • only a legitimate descendant (i.e. the birth child of a married couple, or having lived with the parent in question for at least 10 years if adopted or illegitimate at birth)
  • older siblings (and their descendants) have preference over younger siblings (and their descendants)
  • descendants of an equal marriage have preference over descendants of an unequal marriage
  • upon succession to the title, one becomes a Shirerithian citizen with all its obligations and rights; if one does not accept those, the title will pass to the next eligible person on the line of succession to that title.

Some imperial decrees specify other requirements for succession, and in those cases, those rules shall govern the succession for that particular title.

Ranks

Peers have either imperial immediacy or mediacy.

Peerages with imperial immediacy are those who have princely or ducal rank. Other peerages may be given immediacy with the suffix Palatine. Palatine nobles thus rank higher than all other mediate nobles. For example, a count palatine ranks higher than a marquess, though a marquess ranks higher than a count.

History

Historically, up and to the end of the 16th century, the earliest form of the Imperial Peerage had 4 ranks,

  1. Kaiser or Kaiseress
  2. Duke or Duchess (Dutch or Dutchess in the case of Kildare)
  3. Baron or Baroness
  4. Count or Countess

Note the unique order where baron outranked the count. The legal spouse of a title-holder was allowed to use the corresponding title as consort, for example, the wife of a count was allowed to call herself countess, and the husband of a Duchess a Duke. Legally such titles were affixed "Consort", but rarely done so outside the most formal occasions.

Since the beginning of the 17th century, movements began toward the modern system.

Until 1664, when the imperial states were destroyed, there was a parallel system of peerage in many of the imperial states. Such titles of nobility were recognized and given the equivalent laud and honour as their imperial counterparts. So a count under the peerage of Goldshire was equal in rank to the count in the imperial peerage. Upon the destruction of the imperial states, the non-imperial titles ceased to be, with a few of these becoming "imperialized", that is, legitimized as part of the Imperial Peerage.
