Here is some info from http://www.dendarii.com/dict-chalion.html

castillar: Title of nobility in Chalion, below march and above ser,
roughly equivalent to an earl or baron.
castillara: Wife of a castillar, or a female castillar.
march: Title of nobility, below provincar and above castillar, roughly
equivalent to a marquess. OR: The lands held by such a noble.
marchess: The wife of a march, or a female march.
provincar: Title of nobility, below a roya and above a march, roughly
equivalent to a duke. Addressed as "Your Grace".
provincara: Wife of a provincar, or a female provincar. Addressed as
"Your Grace". The Provincara (capitalized) is the dowager Provincara
of Baocia in CoC.
roya: Ruler of a country, equivalent to a king.
royesse: Daughter of a roya, a princess.
royina: The wife of a roya, or (possibly) a female ruler of a country: a queen.
royse: Son of a roya, a prince.
ser: Lowest title of nobility, below a castillar in rank.
sera: Wife of a ser, or a female ser.

So, a royina is a queen, and a provinara is like duchess. Royesse is a
princess.
