Thank you for a most refreshing article! One point: "Low ranking titles are ridder (knight )..." you write. Never inn all historical works on Norway have I seen such a claim! Perhaps the road is too long between the old earls and "Franciscus di Ratta, senator of Boulogne" ( who have ever heard of him?)? And perhaps you should reenter the old hauld on your list, as a link bween glories past and newcomers present? Kind regards Eric Haig 07:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the input! Most of the information in the article comes of the internet so as always things might be wrong. I wasn't even aware Norway had a Marquis title when I found the information, but I think the appointments are purely honorary and the recipients might even have no connection to Norway. Hope to see more from you. Inge 11:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Existence?

Please excuse me, but do titles unofficially exist (like in Germany), or is their use completely forbidden (like in Austria)?Anglius 03:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The use of titles for Norwegian noble families is no longer recognized in Norwegian law, nor are such titles (always rare) used socially any longer. See: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.talk.royalty/msg/0768e0f5ea20e692 Lethiere 03:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your information, sir. Personally, I think that it is ridiculous to have a monarchy without also having a titled aristocracy.--Anglius 04:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Well many people find things that are unfamiliar to them strange or even ridiculous. Don't worry give it some time and you'll get it. I find it strange that someone is being overly polite in one sentance then go on to insult the governing policy of a country in the other. :)Inge 09:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Sir, I was merely bestowing my opinion. Please do not patronise me.--Anglius 21:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

When you express your opinions publicly and espeshially in such strong terms you must be prepared to receive harsh comments in return. As for you not wanting to be patronised; People who bestow opinins on topics they know nothing or little about do have some growing to do. Inge 11:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I do not think that I said anything that was excessively controversial. In addition, I believe that I possess sufficient amount of knowledge regarding this subject, sir.--Anglius 03:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
