The Duchy of Marlborough was created to allow John Churchill, a former defender of King James II (he defeated the Monmouth rebellion and secured Jimmy on the throne), the land tithes to raise a company of soldiers to fight against James and for the new regime of William, Duke of Orange as the crafty Dutchman had no intention of paying for a Bong military of his own.

The Ranks of European nobility ususlly go something like this:

King

Prince

Duke (although Princes can also be dukes- the title of prince just meant you were a king's son and didn't entitle you to land)

Earl (only in Bongland, from the old English/Norse 'Jarl'- a lower, local ruler)

Viscount/Burgraaf

Count/Graaf (count means companion and Viscount means trusted companion)

Baron/Lord (baron means soldier but it also kind of means 'dumb', implying someone who does what they're told)

Knight (the only rank not automatically entitled to a fief of land- knights had to pay for their own kit and horses too so they were often poor as frick- see Don Quixote)
