	Grandee - LoveToKnow 1911
		The grandees of Spain were further divided into three classes: (1) those who spoke to the king and received his reply with their heads covered; (2) those who addressed him uncovered, but put on their hats to hear his answer; (3) those who awaited the permission of the king before covering themselves.
		All grandees were addressed by the king as "my cousin" (mi primo), whereas ordinary nobles were only qualified as "my kinsman" (mi pariente).
		The title of "grandee," abolished under King Joseph Bonaparte, was revived in 1834, when by the Estatudo real grandees were given precedence in the Chamber of Peers.
