If you were a dark ages noble, what would your title be, and what would the area you rule be called?

Question

Subquestion- describe your castle.

Answer 1

madame knows everthing and i would have a kingdom called "you got to love her:

Answer 2

Anything other than,"Your Grace" earns speaker a cuff at back of skull by boiled leather gauntlet of guards upon my raise of eyebrow.  A frown at continued title abuse earns speaker one day or week upon nearest pillory.  My Keep

is on the northeastern shore overlooking the small cove I

employ for landing trade goods from Danes and the less savory.  A wide round tower of golden sandstone blocks chinked with pale Roman mortar it has gray slate roof, numerous crossbow slits below stone pitch, all in circle of former Iron Age rammed earth fortress for men (and smaller sapling livestock paddock).   My rule extends to all in sight and withdraws every night to the extent of light from sentry watch fires.  I answer only to such Lords who pay me for

keeping landed goods safe until silver and such foodstuff as

previously agreed continues operational life of this Keep.

I'm former master of clinker hulled vessels that profited in trade and occasional rapine or p****y elsewhere.  The sea

is my escape route upon advance of any lord with more men-at-arms than my motley collection of cut-throats and pissers.

Answer 3

That's easy. I am Lord Brion Bearclaw of Gryphon Woods, and I would definitely hold the title of a landed Duke, ruling my Duchy of The Verdant Hills from my castle Gryphons' Aerie. The castle would be a stone fortress on a hilltop, surrounded by three concentric perimeter walls, with gates on opposing sides in order to force an enemy to literally walk around the hill three times, while fighting my garrison and being fired on by troops in the next higher ring. Siege weaponry would include ballista, catapult, and trebuchet, and the hill below would be honeycombed with caves and tunneled passageways serving as storehouses, armories, dungeons, and with access to freshwater springs.

Answer 4

I would be PurpleAdder, and I would be called Duchess of Ziggyland!

Answer 5

Baroness Von Fresiahazy, wielder of the Sheild Aegis and the Sword Balance.    The Castle is a smaller scale Versailles from the front but underneath is a fortress.    At Court I look like typical pretty princessa but in private My Niko, Machiavelli, knows me for the tigress I AM.

Answer 6

I would be The Count Of Ten, and rule The Hundreds.

My castle would be Gothic, with a few purpose built bat roosts, and a dungeon for weekend parties.

Answer 7

I would be a duke, and I would rule over a duchy.

My castle would be fairly small, but the walls would be long enough to shelter the surrounding villagers. Inside the castle are storerooms, a dungeon (about 4 cells), a main hall, kitchen, and roughly 12 bedrooms of various sizes. The walls are thick enough to withstand anything but catapults or trebuchets, with ample acher slits and a few good turrets.

Answer 8

I would be Charles the Great.I would reject the title of King to show that I'm a ruler with middle class values. No laziness or unnecessary entitlements will be tolerated.Our kingdom will go forward with our expansion plans.Only the strong survive.

Answer 9

I am Nemo, Lord of the Beginning, Ageless Wonderer. I rule all the lands from here to beyond the New World. In my citadel lies a great city, and towering above that is my castle and it's keep, towers so high they rival even what Bab-El should have been.
