hầu tước
/ˈmɑːkwɪs//ˈmɑːrkwɪs/The word "marquis" originates from the Old French "mareq," which is derived from the Frankish "meregizo," meaning "march friend" or "border guardian." In the 12th century, the title of Marquis was granted to a nobleman who governed a march, a border region or territory, on behalf of a king or emperor. The title was originally used in the Holy Roman Empire and was later adopted in other European countries. Over time, the title evolved to convey a high level of nobility and prestige, and it was often granted to members of royal families or feudal lords. Today, the title of Marquis is still used in some hereditary peerages, particularly in the British and French nobility systems.
