Revocation of Nobility

Noble rank can be revoked by the Emperor personally or through the Moot.

  • High Crimes: Reasons for such revocation are treason, murder, kidnapping, and extortion as well as other felonies.
  • Incompetence: Extremely poor performance can also be a reason.
  • Discontinuation: Occasionally, a noble rank will not be confirmed upon inheritance.
  • All noble ranks within the peerage come from the Emperor.
  • The ability to create Knights and Baronets (and in a few rare cases, Barons), however, is shared with the Archdukes of the Imperium, though such archducal appointments are never considered members of the peerage, and always rank equal to but behind those of similar title bestowed by the Emperor.
