*Marquis

  Both Marquess and Marquis are correct so I guess I merged them into Marquees XD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquess In Italian, which is my native language, it would be MARCHESE. Fun fact, there is a whole Italian region called Marche: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marche

    Yep, that's where the term 'Marquis' comes from. He's the one supposed to guard the 'marche' (stair in french) which in latin used to mean frontier.

    Further fun fact, still in Italy, the territory around the city of Treviso is called La Marca since medieval times (and still today): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_of_Treviso https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_of_Treviso <MARQUEE>, instead, is an ancient HTML abomination.
