Also, one more note - there's nothing wrong with long titles in the Medieval sense. They weren't uncommon, particularly among high ranking nobility. For example, Henry II Plantagenet could lay claim to the following titles during his reign:

King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Aquitain, Duke of Brittany, Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou, Count of Maine

To say nothing of how things evolved over the next several hundred years. Here for example, is the full title of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, whose reign occurred at the end of the middle ages:

Charles, by the grace of God, Holy Roman Emperor, forever August, King of Germany, King of Italy, King of all Spains, of Castile, Aragon, León, Navarra, Grenada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Majorca, Sevilla, Cordova, Murcia, Jaén, Algarves, Algeciras, Gibraltar, the Canary Islands, King of Two Sicilies, of Sardinia, Corsica, King of Jerusalem, King of the Western and Eastern Indies, Lord of the Islands and Main Ocean Sea, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Brabant, Lorraine, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Limburg, Luxembourg, Gelderland, Neopatria, Württemberg, Landgrave of Alsace, Prince of Swabia, Asturia and Catalonia, Count of Flanders, Habsburg, Tyrol, Gorizia, Barcelona, Artois, Burgundy Palatine, Hainaut, Holland, Seeland, Ferrette, Kyburg, Namur, Roussillon, Cerdagne, Zutphen, Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, Burgau, Oristano and Gociano, Lord of Frisia, the Wendish March, Pordenone, Biscay, Molin, Salins, Tripoli and Mechelen.

... knight of "some mud hut down by the river next to the patch of grass where goats are kept, just off the road to the next town where nothing happens aside from getting looted once in a while, etc"

what's the character limit on estate names?

Since we use standard HTML tables they would expand until the fill the screen width, and then start breaking things up into multiple lines, yes.
