Sorry but I don't know where to post this. We (friends)are avid Downton Abbey fans and were wondering about something in the area of lineage. We wanted to know if the daughter of Lady sybil and Branson would have any title since in those days women didn't have the same equality as men and she being a Lady and he being a commoner.. Would the child have any title?

Lady Sybil's title is a courtesy title that she holds as an earl's daughter. Thus, legally, she too is a commoner. Therefore no son or daughter of hers will have any title - unless she or their father is raised to the peerage in his/her own right.

Glogirl, welcome to the board! I am moving this to the Palace Garden section since it's not strictly about royalty.
