 | | The proud title of " count of the stable," once, borne by the highest official of the Byzantine court, is now associated in the public mind 1 The papal chancery, however, seems early to have established definite rules. |
 | | Some titles again are derived from mere ideas of precedence, like that of "prince" (q.v.), which may be described as the generic sovereign title; the Spanish title of " grandee " (q.v.); or that of " master " (q.v.), which as a title of honour survives in Scotland. |
 | | Among titles of honour, finally, may be reckoned honorary degrees bestowed by universities, the pope, and in England by the archbishop of Canterbury. |
