The comments section for my video from two weeks ago and the questions beneath my Q&A request on my community tab made it clear that today’s video topic is a necessary one. We’re going to go in order from bottom to top, starting with the gentlemen and move up the ranks and titles of the nobility to esquires, knights, baronets, barons, viscounts, earls, marquesses and dukes…
