List of Styles and Titles

The court uses a whole host of titles and styles depending on the individual's rank, title, occupation and status. These styles and titles may not always follow the strict wording of the letter, as such the Cardinal Mortemart is often referred to as 'l'Éminence Rouge'. However, due to court etiquette, these styles are usually adhered to in social circles. Those who are close to an individual may refer to them by name, but only if the individual has informed them to do so.
Styles are usually overridden when a person has a close family connection. In this case, referring to them by their relation is common, however, the addition of 'Monsieur mon' or 'Madame ma' are common, such as 'Madame ma Mère' for one's mother. When referring by name, women are referred to by the last of their Christian names, while men may choose whichever is their preference.
