A woman who holds in her own right the title to such duchy or dukedom, or is the wife of a duke, is normally styled duchess. However, Queen Elizabeth II is known as Duke of Normandy in the Channel Islands and Duke of Lancaster in Lancashire.
During the 19th century many of the smaller German and Italian states were ruled by Dukes or Grand Dukes. At present however, with the exception of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, there are no dukes who rule. Duke remains the highest titular peerage in France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The Pope, as a temporal sovereign, has also but rarely granted the title of Duke and Duchess to persons for services to the Holy See.
In the Middle Ages the title signified first among the Germanic monarchies. 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.
A duke is a member of the nobility, historically of highest rank below the monarch, and historically controlling a duchy. The title comes from the Latin Dux, 'leader', a term used in republican Rome to refer to a military commander without an official rank (particularly one of Germanic or Celtic origin), and later coming to mean the leading military commander of a province.
Fantastic game, loved it since i was a teen in the late 90's and the books are fantastic. ANyone thinks the books influenced many movies from Star Wars to all the way to Avatar?
Hey everybody - I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains electronic upbeat and ambient songs inspired by the music of Frank Klepacki and the Dune video game series. If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) .
Well, well, well. It's John Rhys-Davies. Haha, I didn't knew, that the Gimli from "The Lord of the Rings", Sallah from "Indiana Jones" or General Leonid Pushkin from "007 James Bond: The Living Daylights" is here. He's the best.
That is not the best pre-battle speech of all times. "we don't fight for personal gain, we don't fight for glory. We fight for some aristocrat, whom you have never met and never will before you die for his goals."
Yeah, right... So I've come here in this hellhole of a planet to risk my life for some selfish, incredibly rich bastard I've never even met personally?
I think I'm going to defect to the the Ordos. I've heard they'll give decent benefit packages to their soldiers...
some motivation of the troops talk, it makes me want to go a.w.o.l., hide in a corner and shit in a bucket, in other words a normal friday night on the town
In 1995, Americans would have known him for his role in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Westwood also got James Earl Jones for... I can't remember which C&C.
Its John Rhys-Davies, and yes, he did play as Gimli, as well as Prof. Maximilian Arturo from Sliders... and even did some voice acting in Spongebob Squarepants (Played ManRay *Shrug* no clue really =p)
