The Baltic Nobility wasn't historicall related to the Lithuania, but only with the present territories of Estonia and Latvia. In Lithuania, the nobility was mainly came from Poland and speak Polish.

Therefore, I deleted the correspondigs links to the Lithuania here.

Is a duke higher than a furst/prince? edit

As I understand it, in Russia there were 3 ranks of nobility - Prince (like a UK duke), Count (earl) and Baron.

Yet here we have both dukes and princes (fursts.)

Any ideas?
