The Biffeche Aristocracy
In addition to the Royal Family, Biffeche has a very small
hereditary aristocracy.
Court acts affecting titles or orders of Knighthood &

Note that
"Chief" or "Chef de Village" is strictly an
administrative title, and no longer has any noble connotation (by
itself) in Biffeche. One village chief now also has the hereditary
title of Baron. The law governing the descent of noble titles
depends on the words in the original grant; it may specify decent
in the male line, the female line, to oldest or youngest, or by
any other method. If it is unspecified, then descent is to the
oldest in the male line if the original holder was male. Tanistry
is unknown in Biffeche. A Prince or Princess of the House of
Schafer who has no other title is not able to pass the title to
the next generation without further act of the King.
The King may
appoint a temporary or permanent Seneschal at any time; while in
power, a Seneschal ranks between Baron and Seigneur.
