I always appreciate this information about the peerage. I've read books that weren't correct or I questioned the use of addressing the peerage. I read a book that had a marquess being referred to as "your grace" or "his grace". Another book had characters addressing a duke as "Duke" to his face the way one might say, "May I be of assistance, sir."
