This is a list of fictional nobility that have appeared in various works of fiction. This list is organized by noble rank and limited to well-referenced, notable examples of fictional members of nobility.
Dukes and duchesses
These are fictional characters with the title of "duke" or "duchess".
The Duke of Hastings, a character in Julia Quinn's Regency romance novels and the Netflix adaptation of the same name. Simon inherits his estranged father's title upon his death and swears off children to deny him the legacy of an heir of his line.[5]
Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh, the second son of the fictional King Richard IV of England, whose descendents subsequently fall in status in future generations.
Also known as "The Wyrmking", he is the immortal ruler of the Duchy of Gransys. Edmun had several wives, including Lady Aelinor of Meloire, but has no heir to ascend his throne.
The ruler of the independent Duchy of Grand Fenwick, a tiny nation located in the Alps. In the books she is a young woman, aged 22 in the first novel, of marked beauty and competence. In the film, though similarly competent to her book equivalent, she is an elderly woman, and a widow, played by Peter Sellers .
The new ruler of the independent Duchy of Grand Fenwick. In the film adaptation of The Mouse on the Moon, but not the book of the same name, she is the successor of Duchess Gloriana XII (see above). Played by Margaret Rutherford, this Duchess – though an elderly widow like her predecessor – is distinctly less competent, and slightly senile.
The 10th Duke of Halstead, a British Army Captain who unexpectedly inherits his family's title and estate upon his estranged father's death, bypassing his older brother, and learns of his family's connection to organized crime.[16]
A giant magical owl and the main villain of the film.[25][26] In the original play Chantecler on which the film Rock-a-Doodle is loosely based, the character is simply called "the Grand Duke".[27]
The Duke of Denver, a character in the series by Dorothy L. Sayers. He is the older brother of Lord Peter Wimsey, a gentleman detective who solves mysteries for his own amusement. The title is eventually inherited by Peter.
A poor low-born young man who, with the help of his intelligent cat, gains the wealth and status of a nobleman.[40] Later variations of this character include the following:
Aunt to Lady Glencora M'Cluskie, who uses hard persuasion to get her to give up Burgo Fitzgerald and marry Plantagenet Palliser, heir apparent to the Duke of Omnium and Gatherum
Anthologies of collected jokes. Also films including The Adventures of Count Bobby, The Sweet Life of Count Bobby, and Count Bobby, The Terror of The Wild West
Isidor Ottavio Baldassare Fosco – A grossly obese Italian with a mysterious past, who sets the whole story line in motion with a plot to help his friend acquire an heiress's fortune, which will also benefit him in his own financial affairs
A nobleman in the court of Duchess Gloriana XII of Grand Fenwick, and her vassal. A statesman of almost Machiavellian insight, the Count is the cause of many of the more remarkable events that take place during the series. He is the descendant of a long line of Mountjoy politicians, and diplomats. In the books he is a talented politician of somewhat conservative leanings, who is repeatedly elected as Prime minister of Grand Fenwick. In the films, in which he is played first by Peter Sellers, and later by Ron Moody, he is perhaps slightly less competent than his book equivalent, and – notably – is a Prime Minister by heredity, rather than the will of the people.
Earls
These are fictional characters with the title of "earl".
The 5th Earl of Sodor. He inherited the title when he was only three after his father, Robert Charles, was killed in action in the Second World War, as described in Duke the Lost Engine. Although officially the Earl of Sodor, he sits on the council of the Duchy of Lancaster, and, because there is currently no Duke of Lancaster, he is therefore usually called the "Duke of Sodor" by the island's inhabitants.[53]
The second of three superheroes to go by the name "The Knight". He inherits the title Earl of Wordenshire after the death of his father Percival Sheldrake.
The Earl Phantomhive. Also known as the Queen's Guard dog like previous Earls Phantomhive, tasked with eliminating criminals and solving cases in the underworld for Queen Victoria.
Viscounts and viscountesses
These are fictional characters with the title of "viscount" or "viscountess".
Daughter of Viscount Ascham, she was to inherit the title after the conspiracy around her parents' assassinations was debunked but fled from her home country before she was given the title.
A Royal Navy officer during the Napoleonic Wars, made a knight of the Order of the Bath, and eventually created the Baron Hornblower of Smallbridge in the County of Kent.
A wealthy English baronet who is secretly a hero known as the Scarlet Pimpernel who rescues French aristocrats from being executed during the French Revolution.
Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd's younger brother, who took the title of baronet believing that Ruthven was dead, but later transfers it to Ruthven once he finds out that Ruthven is alive.
Also known as Lady Claire d'Eltham. She is the widow of a knight and owns lands in both England and France during the Hundred Years' War. Lady Claire is portrayed differently in the 2003 film adaptation, in which she is French instead of English, and is the sister of French commander Arnaut de Cervole.
Also known as Lord Majestros, he is one of four Kherubim lords trapped on Earth during the Kherubim/Daemonite war. He is also a superhero similar to Superman.
Also known as Sir Oliver. He is an English lord and knight based in France during the Hundred Years' War. He controls the castles Castelgard and La Roque.
Originally a school bully, he becomes a Victorian soldier who pretends to be brave, but is really a lying coward. He receives his knighthood in Flashman in the Great Game.
The fictional name the squire William Thatcher uses to enter jousting contests after his master, Sir Ector dies, leaving his retinue unemployed. He is eventually knighted as Sir William in his own right by the Black Prince.
Sir Justin is the first of three superheroes to go by the name "Shining Knight". He was one of King Arthur's knights before being frozen and waking up in the modern world.
The fish out of water protagonist foil to Charles Bronson's Link Stuart, both seeking Alain Delon's Gauche in the 1971 Spaghetti Western by Terence Young.
Also known as Miaowara Tomokato. He is an anthropomorphic cat warrior who formerly served Oda Nobunaga, and subsequently seeks to avenge his master's death.
