Form of Address
Dukes and other individuals who are grandees are entitled to the style of Most Excellent Lord/Lady or His/Her Excellency. Also, individuals who hold a princedom (rare outside the royal family) are addressed as Most Excellent Lord/Lady.
Titled nobles (without a grandeeship) who are of the rank of marquis or count use the style Most Illustrious Lord/Lady. Those who hold a title with the rank of viscount, baron or Señor use simply Señor/Señora.

Famous quotes containing the words form of, form and/or address:
“Language disguises the thought; so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“Give a boy address and accomplishments and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he goes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
