//Absurdly helpful for people writing royal characters and/or characters who interact with royalty and members of the nobility.

Citizen is simpler and more beautiful~ but just in case anyone needs this.
DUDE BUT THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE
in medieval times you ONLY addressed a king/queen with “Your Majesty”, NEVER “Your Highness”. To address a king/queen with “Your Highness” was considered an insult.
My fellow exophilia fic writing friends, handy info on titles.
Also, never call royalty “My Lord” or “My Lady” unless they give you leave to do so. If you are unsure of a person’s station, “Your Excellency” or “Your Eminence” are good catch-all titles.
Additionally, “Your Grace” can be used for nobility, but it is mostly reserved for clergy members above the position of priest. A priest is simply known as “Father.”
For reference.
