In Italian, which is my native language, it would be MARCHESE.
Fun fact, there is a whole Italian region called Marche:

- skywal_l 5y agoYep, 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.
- blue1 5y agoFurther 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.
