    Hi all,

    I thought I saw on this Forum a list of monarch's correct titles and forms of address.

    I've searched but I can't find the darned thing again. Can anyone help, please?

    Thanks,

    John

    Your Excellency - when writing to an abassador
    Your Eminence - when addressing a Cardinal or Bishop
    Your Grace - title for most people below the rank of King or Emperor
    Your Holiness - The Pope
    Your Most Christian Majesty - The King of France
    Your Most Catholic Majesty - The King of Spain
    Your Most Faithful Majesty - The King of Portugal
    Your Sacred Imperial Majesty - The Holy Roman Emperor
    Your Serene Highness - The Electoral Prince
    Your High Mightinesess - used when addressing the members of the Dutch Estates-General
    Your Majesty - Addressing a King or Emperor
    The Shadow of God Upon Earth - The Ottoman Sultan
    O'Dread Lord - Sometimes used by the Great Moghul of India.
    Your Highness - Anyone of Princely or Royal Blood.

    Further, I advise you to make close notice of what the players call themselves in their messages and use those titles.
