Rank or Title Lower than Lord but Higher than Knight?
I need another rank for my Minecraft server, This rank will be between Knight and Lord and should be historically accurate. The only thing I can think of is Captain but this just doesn't sound right to me.
Here are the current ranks.
- Settler
- Squire
- Knight
- Captain (The rank I want changed.)
- Lord
- Prince/Princess
- King/Queen
If you can think of another rank that fits between any other ranks let me know.

In English pecking order, there are a number of degrees of peerage. From the lowest they are Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis and Duke. Most orders of knighthood have the highest rank of Knight Grand Cross. However, there is no intermediate order between Knight and Baron. There is a type of hereditary knighthood where you are called a Baronet, but this tends not to be regarded very highly since they were originally sold by the government to raise money.
Captain is a rank in the armed forces and merchant navy. A Lord, a Knight or a plain old commoner can be a Captain.
