So, given that the Count of Toulouse could be wealthier and, potentially, more influential due to his wealth than the King of Whales, would the Count of Toulouse have any reason to treat the King of Whales as a higher authority should they happen to meet?
Obviously in BM a count meeting a King would typically be treated as a lesser meeting a superior, unless the Count in question was brave enough or was meeting an enemy, but a rigid title hierarchy wouldn't exist, I'd think, in a fluid political world.
