A duke is a noble person, historically of highest rank below the King
or Queen, and usually controls a duchy or a Dukedom. Female equivalent
is Duchess either in her own right, or wife of a Duke. Dukes were the
rulers of the provinces and the superiors of the counts in the cities
and later, in the feudal monarchies, the highest-ranking peers of the
king. There were, however, variants of these meanings and there were
even sovereign princes employing ducal titles.
A marquess is a nobleman of hereditary rank. A woman with the rank of
marquess, or the wife of a marquess, is a marchioness. This term comes
from Old French
Marchis "frontier, frontier territory" - also seen in the Germanic word
for 'border' (mark) - which in English became march. They were
originally counts who were granted extra powers because they guarded
border areas.
An Earl (or Jarl) was an Anglo-Saxon title meaning "chieftain" and
referring especially to chieftains set to rule a territory in a king's
stead. English never developed a feminine form of earl; the wife of an
earl is styled countess. In Anglo-Saxon England, earls had authority over their own regions and right of judgement in provincial courts,
as delegated by the king. They collected fines and taxes and in return
received a "third penny", one-third of the money they collected. In
wartime they led the king's armies.
