Try to Fit That on a Business Card

aka: Word Salad Of Titles

Quite the résumé.

Missandei: You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, rightful Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.

Davos: ... This is Jon Snow... He's King in the North.

— Game of Thrones

If there's one way to impress upon the viewer the general awesomeness of a character, it's to give him the titles to show for it. Often, the first mention of a character with loads and loads of titles is, or will be closely followed by, a formal introduction or a signature of a formal letter.

Another common vector for the Long List is a Badass Boast, especially if the titles were awarded for martial achievements or general badassery. Done improperly, he'll just come off as "Jimmy the Longwinded, He of Many Titles" (although this can be deliberate when the trope is Played for Laughs).

This is very much Truth in Television, in that many reigning monarchs tended to possess an impressive array of titles. In the modern day, loads and loads of titles can be found on accomplished British citizens. It can also come from having several academic degrees; compare Geniuses Have Multiple PhDs, Omnidisciplinary Scientist and Renaissance Man.

A subtrope of Long List and The Magnificent. May be combined with Overly Long Name. Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking is likely to be involved, as the most impressive titles will generally be listed first. Compare Some Call Me "Tim", They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!, I Have Many Names, someone has multiple, separate names, and Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom, which is a name that's more like a description, and therefore has length. Contrast Just the First Citizen, The Master and similarly styled Names to Run Away from Really Fast, where brevity is the soul of intimidation. If they also happen to announce it (or someone else does it for them) a lot then it's also a Large Ham Title.

Examples:

Anime & Manga

• "President Führer King Bradley" of Fullmetal Alchemist, although "King" is just his very appropriate first name. He is both president of the country and head (Führer) of the military.
• All of the Crimson Demon Clan in KonoSuba introduce themselves by listing off as many titles they think they can get away with while adopting whatever cool poses they can think of. However, as the clan is centralized in a relatively small village most can only get out the type of magic they specialize in, and something along the lines of "Proprietor of the Foremost Bakerey", "Future Author", or "Foremost Brother Lover". Interestingly this is considered a proper greeting and one member was relieved that Kazuma performed it correctly, unaware Kazuma was making fun of him.
• Discussed in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, where Kobayashi mentions that part of the reason that she doesn't want to accept the role as guardian of the region is because her title would be "Jigokumeguri Company Chief and Oborozuka Area Guardian • Kobayashi".
• In episode 51 of Soul Eater, Asura asks Maka just who she is. She replies "Academy Student Maka Albarn, one-star scythemeister". However, in the manga, it's a lot more complicated than that. An art book calls her "Maka Albarn, Meister to Death Scythe Soul Eater Evans". After completing her Deathscythe and joining Spartoi, it would be more like "Shibusen Spartoi Captain Maka Albarn, two-star Grigori Deathscythemeister to Soul Eater Evans".

Comic Books

• The Authority: Midnighter has a stock Badass Boast about his Awesomeness by Analysis skills that includes a few self-given titles. ("I'm what soldiers dream of growing into. I'm what children see when they first imagine what death is like...") Eventually he gets so tired of saying it that he literally has it printed a business card. The guy at the print shop just assumes he's a wrestler and it's part of his gimmick. WildStorm even printed a batch of the cards and handed them out at comic cons.
• The Proximen in The Ballad of Halo Jones acquire extra words in their names as a sign of increased status.
• Cable: "Nathan Christopher Charles Dayspring Askani'son Summers". Or as Deadpool calls him, Priscilla.
• In Lady Mechanika, Commander Winter's full title is "Lady Katherine de Winter, Countess of the St. Germaines, Bearer of the Seventh Key of the Inner Collective".
• Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In Don Rosa's A Little Something Special, the bad guys made a stalling tactic out of introducing the "Last of the Clan McDuck, Master of the Mississippi, Buckaroo of the Badlands, Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark, Raider of the Copper Hill, Laird of Castle McDuck, Terror of the Transvaal, Vigilante of Pizen Bluff, Dreamtime Duck of the Never-Never, King of the Klondike, Billionaire of Dismal Downs, Invader of Fort Duckburg, Sharpie of the Culebra Cut, Empire Builder from Calisota, Richest Duck in the World, Scrooge "Buck" McDuck."
• In The Sandman (1989), Dream "collects names like others collect friends". His official titles: "Lord of the Dreamworld, Prince of Stories, Monarch of the Sleeping Marches, His Darkness Dream of the Endless".
• In the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) mini-series produced by Archie Comics (Right before the main comics), Robotnik has a plaque on his desk that reads "DR. ROBOTNIK: Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac..." At this point it continues on a sign on his desk's side, "...Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rain Forest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, Insurance Salesman".
• Star Wars (Marvel 2015): The "Mutiny on Mon Cala" arc features "Urtya, Grand Admiral of the Mon Cala Mercantile Fleet, Regent of Mon Cala, Dual Protector of the Two People, and Warden of the King in exile." There's implied to be more titles involved, but he cuts Threepio off before he can get to them.
• The Transformers (IDW): "Ultra Magnus. Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord and Director of Security."
• Herr Doktor Count Baron Napoleon von Strudel, in the Wallace & Gromit comic "Anoraknophobia". It's a lie. His real name is Bert Maudsley and he went to school with Wallace.

Comic Strips

• Calvin and Hobbes: Calvin's titles within the GROSS club are "the great Grandiose Dictator–for–Life, the Ruler Supreme, the Fearless, the Brave, the Held–High–in–Esteem, Calvin the Bold", and club meetings begin with reciting these. Bear in mind that this club has exactly two members...

Fan Works

• The Assumption Of Applejack-or-Appletheosis:
  • Princess Celestia's full name, titles included, is "Lady of the Dawn, Her Serene Immortal Highness of Equestria, Daughter of Harmony and Endless Light of Life, Mother and Guide of the Herd, Once-Bearer of Kindness, Laughter, and Magic, Duchess of Canterlot, Van Hoover, and Cloudsdale, Queen of the Scattered Clouds, the Very High and Very Powerful Princess Celestia."
  • Similarly, Princess Luna's full name, titles included, is "Lady of the Night, Her Serene Immortal Highness of Equestria, Daughter of Harmony and Conqueror of the Midnight Skies, Avenger of the Herd, Once-Bearer of Honesty, Generosity, and Loyalty, Duchess of Zebrica, Stalliongrad, and Manehatten, Queen of the Distant Isles, the Very High and Very Powerful Princess Luna."
• In the Star Trek: Voyager fanfic Attack of the 50-Ft Half-Klingon the holodeck character played by Tom Paris is "Captain Proton: Spaceman First Class, Protector of Earth, Scourge of Intergalactic Evil, Astrogator of Action, Prince of Planeteers, Lord of the Rings of Saturn, Man of the Day After Tomorrow, and Savior of a Statistically Insignificant Percentage of the Universe."
• In the Dragon Age: Inquisition AU story Beyond Heroes: Of Sunshine and Red Lyrium, the herald at Empress Celene's ball (as in canon) introduces the Inquisitor, who in this instance is "Lady Inquisitor Bethany Leandra Hawke, senior enchanter of the Kirkwall Circle of Magi, sister to the Champion of Kirkwall, granddaughter of Lord Aristide Amell of Kirkwall, vanquisher of the rebel mages of Ferelden, crusher of the vile apostates of the Mage Underground, champion of the blessed Andraste Herself!"
  • By the end of the story, she's also Inquisitor First-Thaw of Stone-Bear Hold and Lady Tethras, Viscountess of Kirkwall, so the printing on that card just keeps getting smaller.
• A Boy, a Girl and a Dog: The Leithian Script: As Luthien tells it, the name of the giant wolf Carcharoth — meaning "Red Maw" — is a real shortened version of what he calls himself, which is a long list of titles and boasts about how fearsome and monstrous he is.
  Ranger: That part Beren managed to convey pretty vividly. He called the beast Carcharoth.
  Luthien: That's the abridged translation of his name from Old High Demonic — what he thought of himself as. The whole of it would go something like "I of the Blood-Stained Jaws, Whose Teeth Are as Knives, Eater of Elves And Men, Terror of Orcs, Biter of Balrogs, Who Fears Not the Sun, Who Guards the Great King's Gate By Day and By Night—"
  Finrod: [snorting] Humble fellow.
• Breath Waker: Feferi's full title is Her Imperious Condescension Feferi Peixes, Third of that Name, by the Grace of Din and of Pyralspyte Empress of all Trolls and Queen of Dragonroost, fidei defensatrix, etc. She just goes by Feferi.
• Burn Them All: An Alternate History of Westeros following the Desolation of King's Landing: In Chapter 24, after Viserys has forcibly dissolved the Middle Council (the proto-legislature of lords that had been slowly increasing their power at the expense of the crown's), he marks the restoration of his authority as an absolute monarch by having himself re-crowned by the High Septon as "Viserys of the House Targaryen, Third of His Name, by the Light of the Seven, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Supreme Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and One Realm of Westeros, Prince of Dragonstone, Lord Paramount of the Blackwater, and Protector of the Faith."
• Chasing Dragons: For his part in leading efforts to put down a slave rebellion in Volantis, Viserys is awarded the titles Master of Arms and Men, Proconsul of the Western Territories, Prefect of the Black Walls, and Captain-General of the City, in addition to soon after being elected to a Triarch seat.
• By the epilogue of The Chronicles of Tanya the Holy, Tanya has amassed an impressive list of titles. "Tanya the Holy (of the Church of the Light), High Queen of the Alliance, Demon's Bane, Her Holiness, the Cutthroat, Holy Saintess, Bearer of Light, Confessor Mother" with mentions of a few others that go unnamed.
• Codex Equus: Several characters have ridiculously long lists of names, ex-names, and titles. Chief among them is King Tunglið Hreinsar Innlausn-Heimdrasil, the Sovereign of Cycles (Formerly Prince Canticum Lunae Cahaya (Formerly Moon Ray Vaughoof, the King of Blues (Also may be called Kematian Cahaya, the Prince of Death, Kelahiran Semula Cahaya, the Prince of Reincarnation, or Kehidupan Cahaya, the Prince of Life depending on what day it is))). In polite conversation, you might as well just call him 'Sir'.
• A Crown of Stars: Daniel and Rayana, the divine — and very ancient — rulers of Avalon, have a very long list of titles. They sometimes enjoy enumerating them to newcomers only to see the looks on their faces:
  Daniel: Sir Daniel Joseph O'Brien, Knight of the Crown, Ranger Prime of the Imperial Rangers, Clan Lord of the O'Briens, King of Primastra, Lord of Ten Billion Suns, Ruler of the Shining Realm, His Most Cosmic Majesty, Emperor of Avalon. I am the government here. Welcome to my place. Can I get you anything?
  Rayana: Pardon my husband's exploitation of his myriad titles for amusement value. He likes messing with people like that sometimes. I'm Dame Rayana Kylise Hart-O'Brien, Knight Commander of the Centre for Covert Multi-Dimensional Operations, Avalon Imperial University Mistress of Musical Arcanum, Imperial Sorceress Supreme, Grand Duchess of Narya, Lady of Mothers' Fury, Her Most Mystic Majesty, Witch Queen of Avalon. Would you like something to drink?
  Daniel: Good to have you home, love. So hard to pull off that routine properly without you.
• Navarone collects a bunch of titles over the course of Diaries of a Madman, and at one point could claim to call himself as "Sir Navarone, Knight of the Lunar Order, Defender of Harmony, Royal Savior, Hero of the Changelings, and Liberator of Egypt."
• In An Empire of Ice and Fire, Daenerys racks up even more titles than in canon, and Jon gains plenty of his own after the pair are anointed Emperor and Empress of the newly formed Targaryen Empire.
  • Daenerys' full list of titles is "Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen-Stark, first of her name. Empress of the Targaryen Empire, Queen of the Andals, the Roynar, and First Men. Lady of Westeros and Queen in the North. Queen of New Valyria. Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea. Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, the Princess Who Was Promised. The Unburnt, Valyria Reborn. Joint Protector of the Pax Targaryana and Ruler of All She Surveys."

Lord of Westeros and Defender of the Valyrian People. Father of Dragons and Prince who was Promised. The Unburnt, the Resurrected. The White Wolf, the Dragonwolf. Friend of the Free Folk and Joint Protector of the Pax Targaryana."
• Played for Laughs in The Ghost of Ochs. While Monica does come from a noble family, she doesn't have any extra titles, and only jokingly addresses herself as "Monica von Ochs, Daughter of Baron Nicolaus the First, Student at the Garreg Mach Officers Academy, and Liberator of Trade Routes" to prove her identity to a merchant in her (temporary) hometown. She immediately wishes that she had an actual business card (or student ID with a picture on it) to avoid having to do that again.
• The Good Hunter: Cyril Sutherland, also known as "The Hunter", or "Good Hunter", has a multitude of titles, including: "Moon Scented Hunter", "The Butcher of Lescatie", "The Bane of Monsters", "The Unleashed Blade of Chaos", "The Breaker of Priests", "Bloody Hand of the Oberon League", and "Master of the Wild Hunt".
• Hellsister Trilogy: Black Adam introduces himself to Dev-Em thus: "I am Teth-Adam, called Mighty Adam and then Black Adam by the ancient wizard who gave me my powers, and I hail from the Black Land of Egypt. I was the slayer of a Pharaoh, six millennia past. I was exiled to the farthest star for my crime, but made my way back to Earth, where I made war against the wizard's late-coming allies, those who were called Marvels. Mine is the endurance of Shu, the strength of Hershef, the power of Amon, the wisdom of Zehuti, the speed of Anpu, and the courage of Menthu."
• Heretic Pride: In one chapter, Obi-Wan and Anakin are stuck on bodyguard duty for the pompous King Marlontan, or, to give him his full style: "His Royal Highness, Lord of the Fifteen Mysteries, Prince of the Infinite Isles, August and Radiant Fount of Wisdom, Crown of Justice and Throne of Mercy, King Ordained by All the Powers of the Cosmic Oneness, Marlonartan, Seventh of that Line."
• The King Nobody Wanted:
  • Zor Alexi of Sarnor is introduced by Lok of Far Ib as "Lord of the Silver Hall, Master of the Two Hundred Gates, Chanter of the Names of the Thirtyfold Thirty Gods, the Pearl Beyond Price, the Thread Which Does Not Diminish, Friend to the Supplicant, Staff to the Needy, He Who Is, First Lord of Saath, and High Prince of the Sarnor". This apparently an abbreviated list of his full titles, and serves as an ironic highlighting of Sarnor's downfallen and very diminished state. During a later meeting, Zor Dmitri gives a few more... "Prince of the Line Illustrious, Son of Mishka, Grandson of Zor Fyodor, Blood of the High Kings, Heir to the Line Regnal", and by Alexi's account, there are still more.
  • Zor Dmitri demonstrates this is a trait of Sarnori nobles, giving his list of titles as "Lord of the Halls of Battle, Shield to His People, Scourge to His Foes, Speaker of the Name of Victory, Prince of the Line Triumphant, Son of Zor Yaropolk, Grandson of Zor Olag, the Sword of Battle, the Arrow That Does Not Miss, Breaker of Bones, Crusher of Wills, He Whose Hands Are Red, Blood of the Fated, First Lord and Sovereign of Mardosh."
  • The head of House Saan is titled "Prince of the Narrow Sea, Master of the Last Lonely House, Heir to the Glory, Keeper of the Flame, Sovereign of the Waters, First and Last of the First and Last House of the Glorious Freehold of Valyria". And they aren't above acquiring more titles.
• Marissa Picard: "Marissa Amber Flores Picard Gordon, Princess and Heir to the Throne of the Planet Essex, Commanding Admiral of Starfleet, Titleholder of the Triple Crown, and Lord High Commander of All Kids Crews Everywhere." Did we mention that she hates titles?
• My Family and Other Equestrians has the way King Sombra refers to himself in the introduction of the book Blade Star reads in chapter 57: "Written by His Most Excellent Imperial Majesty, High King Sombra the Great. Sole Ruler and Emperor of the Grand Imperial Crystal Empire, and the Dominions, Territories and Dependents of the same. Commander in Chief of His Most Imperial Majesty's Forces by Land and by Sea. First Minister of Imperial Crystal Legislature, Head of the Privy Council and High Lord of the Grand Judiciary and Star Chamber of the same. Governor of the Imperial First City of the Crystal Empire. Holder of the Glorious Crystal Heart and Master of the Forbidden Crystal Palace..." It keeps going for four pages!
  Blade Star: Well, the stallion had an ego.
  • To be fair, a common way to refer to royalty 1000 years ago was by adding lots of titles to them, and royalty such as the Queen of England still do that today, see the Real Life examples below.
• Nobledark Imperium: The Emperor's full title runs Oscar, Last of the Golden Men, Emperor of the Throne, Servus Servorum Imperium, Emperor-Consort of the All-Mother and Defender of the Realms Uncounted.
• The Non-Bronyverse: In TD the Alicorn Princess, TD's full title is "Princess of Snark, Sarcasm, Education, Foal Services, and Pastries." The last one particularly irks Celestia.
• The Parselmouth of Gryffindor: Hermione gradually becomes one of these. By Chapter 50, she can truthfully sign a letter with Hermione J. Granger, Lady Macbrains of the Order of the Junior Marauders, Order of Merlin (2nd Class), Personal Advisor to Minister Cornelius O. Fudge, Knight of the Phoenix, Ambassador of the Violin Nation, Hogwarts student.
• RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse:
  • Princess Luna's full title is "Princess Luna Equestris, Sovereign of the Three Tribes, Mistress of the Star Beasts, Shepard of the Sun and Moon, Empress of Cavallia."
  • Vicerein Puissance has over a hundred different titles that she's managed to acquire (or buy) over her long life, and in formal situations, she requires them to all be read out.
  • "Viscountess Twilight Sparkle, Lady of the Northern Reaches, Lady Protector of Poniswaza, Baronett of Lankswana, Stabledawn and Drum-Mark." As she puts it, her mom really likes handing out titles.
  • "Tirek. Lord of the Midnight Castle, The Shadow in the Soul, the Tyrant in the Pit, the Liar and the Thief, the Bringer of the Night That Never Ends, and Lord of All Sorrows."
• South of Oz:
  • Tamaria's full title is Mother of the Southern Mountains, Mother of Magic and Witches.
  • When West became a goddess, her title became "Goddess of Truth, Solace, Magic, and the West."
• In The Starks Endure, Jon's collection of formal titles is "His Grace Jon the White Wolf of the House Stark, First of His Name, King of the Three Realms of the North, the Trident, and the Vale of Arryn, Lord Consort of Winterfell and the Dreadfort, Commander of Moat Cailin, Warden of the North and Protector of the Realm."
• Ultra Fast Pony: In "Faith to Faith", the Flim Flam Brothers attempt to gain converts to their faith in "the one true alicorn": "King Lord High Commander Darkflame Steelwings, the Magnificent!" As the episode goes on, it becomes increasingly obvious that Flim and Flam just made up Darkflame Steelwings, particularly when Flam says his name and title wrong.
• In Where Cold Winds Blow, Luna introduces Twilight to Lord Arctis as "Lady Twilight Sparkle BMg, Celestia's personal student and Her representative, the Countess of the Everfree, the Bearer of the Element of Magic, Discordsbane and Companion to Sun and Moon," which she only remembers because it actually is written on a card. And for even more laughs, it turns out that the last two were made up by Celestia as a joke.
• At the start of Wishing Well, Queen Majesty sends Queen Sunsparkle a letter with one of these titles: "Majesty, Queen of Dream Valley. Protector of the Golden Horseshoes, Defender of the Realm."
• Yours, Mine & Ours has one Thomas Billington, Commander in Chief of the Auror Division of Magical Homeland Security.

Film — Animation

• In Moana, the title character addresses legendary hero Maui as "Shapeshifter, Demigod of the Wind and Sea". Maui points out she forgot to add "Hero of Men" to that title.
  Maui: Men AND WOMEN. Both. Maui is a hero to all. You're doing great.

Film — Live-Action

• In the film of Anne of the Thousand Days, it is explained that Cardinal Wolsey actually holds more titles than King Henry.
• In Avengers: Infinity War, Loki introduces himself as "Loki, Prince of Asgard, Odinson, the rightful King of Jötunheim, God of Mischief."

• In The Exception, Sigfurd introduces Captain Brandt to the former German Emperor Wilhelm II and his wife:
  Sigfurd: Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albrecht von Preussen and his wife, Princess Hermine Reuss von Greiz.
• The Haunted Castle (1960): Von Teckel. The full name of his positions can be written only on a big business CARD.
• King Bruno the Questionable in Jabberwocky has one of these. His full title (King Bruno the Questionable, Son of Olaf the Loud, Great-grandnephew of Emperor Otto the Bent, conqueror of Freedonia, etc.) is given by a herald who speaks so slowly that the King himself eventually gets tired of listening to his own introduction.
• A Knight's Tale:
  • Chaucer makes up several on the spot:
    Chaucer: I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein!
  • Also, Adhemar makes a dig at William's pseudonym when they first meet.
    Adhemar: And you are?
    William: Well, I am, um...
    Adhemar: You've forgotten, or your name is "Sir Um"?
    William: Ulrich von Lichtenstein, of Gelderland.
    Adhemar: Well, I'd forget as well. What a mouthful.
• The Madness of King George: Implied by one of the royal characters having so many titles that he's surprised to discover one of them.
  Prince of Wales (pointing to a medal) What's that one?
  Duke of York: Oh, I found out the other day that I'm Bishop of Osnabrück. (Beat) Amazing what one is, really.^note Truth in Television: he really was!
• In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, during the first scene King Arthur introduces himself as: "Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon from the castle of Camelot, King of the Britons, Defeater of the Saxons, sovereign of all England."
  Peasant: Well, I didn't vote for you.
• In the Laurel and Hardy short The Music Box, Billy Gilbert says he is "Professor Theodore von Schwartzenhoffen, M.D., A.D., D.D.S., F.L.D., F-F-F-und-F!"

  Kahmunrah: They didn't call me Kahmunrah the Trustworthy! They called me [Kahmunrah the Bloodthirsty! Who kills whoever doesn't give Kahmunrah exactly what he wants, in the moment that he wants it! Which... is right now! When had also better get the combination! And the tablet.
  Larry: That's what they called you?
  Kahmunrah: It was shorter in Egyptian.
• In Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Jack Sparrow has trouble identifying the man before whom he is brought in chains. Note that this is a textbook rendition of George II's actual titles.
  Prime Minister Henry Pelham: You are in the presence of George Augustus, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Archtreasurer and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, King of Great Britain and Ireland... and of you.
  Captain Jack: Doesn't ring a bell...
• Shin Godzilla: A Running Gag throughout the film is Rando Yaguchi (the main protagonist) getting more and more ranks in the Japanese government as the situation regarding Godzilla escalates, and all of these ranks being shown on-screen as Boss Subtitles. By the time the movie hits its climax, Yaguchi's entire list of assigned jobs is so big that it doesn't even fit the movie screen, let alone a business card — it's all a huge splotch of barely-understandable Kanji.

Literature

• Bazil Broketail: The Ourdhi Emperor has so many titles that they are actually never listed in full.
• BattleTech Expanded Universe:
  • In one of the novels, this is deliberately done by two of the protagonists at a state event as a lead-up to a massive wedding, just to stir up some drama. One is a war hero whose brother is an elite intelligence officer for the other side, and the other is a legendary mercenary Mechwarrior officer has been in self-imposed exile for eleven years. The former, of lower military and social standing, solely gets his rank announced, to little fanfare. The latter, being famous and infamous across more than half of the known galaxy, brings the entire room to complete dead silence and stillness when his name, titles, and ranks are called out, especially considering his part in personally destroying the political intrigues of around a good fifth of the guests present: Baron von Arc-Royal, Member of the Order of the Tamar Tigers, Knight Defender of the Draconis March, Regimental Holder of the Order of St. George, Colonel Morgan Kell of the Kell Hounds.
  • Another series of books, the Camacho's Caballeros trilogy by Victor Milan, had a recurring member of the regiment who fit this trope. Lieutenant Senior Grade Father Doctor Roberto "Call me Bob" Garcia, psychologist, sociologist, MechWarrior.
• Belisarius Series: While Eon's full name, Eon Bisi Dakuen, is brief, that of his father, the king of the Ethiopians, is not. The formal name: "Kaleb Ella Atsbeha, son of Tazena, Bisi Lazen, King of Axum, Himryar, Dhu Raydan, Saba, Salhen, the High Country and Yamanat, the Coastal Plain, Hadramawt, and all their Arabs, the Beja, Noba, Kasu, and Siyamo, servant of Christ."
• Champion Dog: Prince Tom is the story of a cocker spaniel who accumulates nearly every title a dog can, including tracking, obedience, and agility. His owner does end up trying to fit it all on a card at least once.
• Damien Kilcannon Vryce from the Coldfire Trilogy, "Knight of King Gannon's Order of the Golden Flame, Companion of the Earth-Star Ascendant, and Reverend Father of the Church of the Unification of Human Faith on Erna."
• In The Culture novel Surface Detail, we have the Geseptian-Fardesile Cultural Federacy officer "The Most Honourable Heritably Concurrent Delegated Vice-Emissary Legislator-Admiral Elect Battlescroy-Bisspe-Blispin III of Turwentire." The narrator notes that this is the short version, omitting his qualifications and medals. (And also that, despite having such long titles, the GCFCians, adversarial admirers of the extremely egalitarian Culture, are slightly embarrassed to acknowledge they have any rank at all.)
• From the Deryni works:
  • His Majesty, King Kelson Cinhil Rhys Anthony Haldane, by the Grace of God, King of Gwynedd, Prince of Meara, and Lord of the Purple March.
  • His Royal Highness, The High and Mighty Prince Nigel Cluim Gwydion Rhys Haldane, Duke of Carthmoor and Regent of Gwynedd.
  • The Most High, Potent, and Noble His Grace The Duke of Corwyn, General Sir Alaric Anthony Morgan, Lord General of the Armies and King's Champion.
  • The Most High, Potent, and Noble His Grace The Duke of Cassan, Sir Duncan Howard McLain, Priest and Bishop.
• Implied, if thankfully not written out, in The Dinosaur Lords—Emperor Felipe's list of titles is so long, it takes a priestess solid ten minutes to go through them all. He finds it immensely funny.
• Discworld:
  • Pyramids: "His Greatness the King Pteppicymon XXVIII, Lord of the Heavens, Charioteer of the Wagon of the Sun, Steersman of the Barque of the Sun, Guardian of the Secret Knowledge, Lord of the Horizon, Keeper of the Way, the Flail of Mercy, the High-Born One, the Never-Dying King." He prefers "Teppic", but his vizier insists on reading out the full list every time.
  • The Fifth Elephant: "Ambassador Extraordinary to Uberwald, His Excellency, His Grace Sir Samuel Vimes, Duke of Ankh-Morpork, Commander of the City Watch, King of the River, Blackboard Monitor."
  • Mort:
    • "The Stealer of Souls, Defeater of Empires, Swallower of Oceans, Thief of Years, The Ultimate Reality, Harvester of Mankind, the" All right, all right. I can see myself in
    • "Queen Kelirehenna I, Lord of Sto Lat, Protector of the Eight Protectorates and Empress of the Long Thin Debated Piece Hubwards of Sto Kerrig." A reference to Queen Elizabeth, whose titles were even longer. (See Real Life below)
  • Vampires tend to collect names and titles as a hobby, though we've never been privy to a full one, mostly because they take up pages.
  • Rincewind simultaneously holds at least eighteen different posts at Unseen University, most of which are meaningless titles that nobody wanted; he is most commonly known as the "Assistant Librarian and Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography." Ponder Stibbons holds another twelve posts but in his case, the positions are ones that involve actual work and have some importance — Ponder's many jobs mean that he reports to himself and has more votes on the university council than everyone else combined.
  • From Unseen Academicals, we get Professor Macarona ^note D.Thau (Bug), D.Maus (Chubb), Magistaludorum (QIS), Octavium (Hons), PHGK (Blit), DMSK, Mack, D.Thau (Bra), Visiting Professor in Chickens (Jahn the Conqueror University [Floor 2, Shrimp Packer's Building, Genua]), Primo Octo (Deux), Visiting Professor in Blit/Slood Exchanges (Al Khali), KCgfJ, Peciprocating Professor of Blit Theory (Unki), D.Thau (Unki), Didimus Supremius (Unki), Emeritus Professor in Blit Substitute Determinations (Chubb), Chair of Blit and Music Studies (Quirm College for Young Ladies) Becomes an Overly Long Gag when he insists the cheerleaders use his entire title, resulting in a simple cheer that takes up more than a page.
  • Averted by founder of the Agatean Empire One Sun Mirror. He was considered so awesome, he crossed the Bishōnen Line of Long List titles and was known simply as One Sun Mirror. Not even his tomb gives his titles—anyone who is in a position to find his tomb is going to know who he is just from the name alone.
    • Rather like Zhao Zheng, King of Qin and uniter/conqueror of China, styling himself simply "Shih Huangdi" (First Emperor). Says it all. (He intended for all later emperors for all time to be styled Second Emperor, Third Emperor, etc., but there never was a Fourth — the Qin dynasty fell and later dynasties did not follow the practice.)
  • In Raising Steam, we officially have "His Grace, His Excellence, His Blackboard-Monitorship, the Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, Lord of Ramkin Hall, King of the River." It is mentioned at the end of the book that Vetinari has run out of titles to give him!
  • The Assassins' Guild Diary describes Vetinari having about eight Guild degrees, including "Doctor of Applied Pathology." He's also Provost of Assassins.
• In Robert A. Heinlein's Double Star, we have "Willem, Prince of Orange, Duke of Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Knight Commander of the Holy Roman Empire, Admiral General of the Imperial Forces, Adviser to the Martian Nests, Protector of the Poor, and, by the Grace of God, King of the Lowlands and Emperor of the Planets and the Spaces Between."
• Dracula has an academic example with its well-read scholar: "Abraham Van Helsing, M.D., D.Ph., D.Litt., etc., etc."
• The Dresden Files: In one of the short stories, Harry is introduced as :Harry Dresden, magus, a commander of the Order of the Grey Cloak, sometime mortal Champion of Queen Mab and Esquire of the Court of Queen Titania." Even more amazing? Every single one of those titles is a major plot point. He's also known as "the Pizza Lord." That's the title that earned him an army.
• Emperor Mage opens with one of these about Prince Kaddar leading into a prosaic wish for his Tortallan visitors to show up so he can stop baking in the heat.
• In Everworld the gods of Egypt are especially prone to this—Sobek won't even talk to you unless you address him as "Lord Sobek, god of the crocodiles of the Nile, called Rager, son of Seth and his consort Neith, called the nurse of crocodiles." Ra also has so many variants that a priest spends five full minutes listing them before the protagonists are led away; the priest stands there listing them anyway because the ritual is more important than their actual presence.
• In Farnham's Legend, the novelization of X: Beyond the Frontier, an Argon senator has to meet with a Paranid dignitary, whose full title is "Priest Duke first class, negotiator and assistant to the Bishop of Paranid Prime, envoy of the Pontifex Maximus Paranidia, prophet of the New Revelation in his own right, Reverend Olmancketslat."
  Sen. Nan Gunnar: That is one hell of a long title.
• Rudyard Kipling in his short story "A Germ-Destroyer", describes a Viceroy of India as possessing no name, "nothing but a string of counties and two-thirds of the alphabet after them."
• Good Omens: "The Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lord of Darkness." Or Adam.
• Gulliver's Travels: "Golbasto Momarem Evlame Gurdilo Shefin Mully Ully Gue, most mighty Emperor of Lilliput, delight and terror of the universe, whose dominions extend five thousand blustrugs [about twelve miles in circumference] to the extremities of the globe; monarch of all monarchs, taller than the sons of men; whose feet press down to the centre, and whose head strikes against the sun; at whose nod the princes of the earth shake their knees; pleasant as the spring, comfortable as the summer, fruitful as autumn, dreadful as winter."
• The Hands of the Emperor: Since most of the protagonists are part of the emperor's household and/or part if the highest rung of civil service, they have corresponding titles:
  • "The last Emperor of Astandalas, his Radiancy Lord Artorin Damara, the Sun on Earth, the Lord of Rising Stars, the Lion-eyed, Lord of Five Thousand Lands and Ten Thousand Titles, Lord-Wizard of Zunidh, Fitzroy Angursell, the rebel poet of the Red Company," etc., etc.
  • "Lord Cliopher Mdang, Secretary in Chief of the Offices of the Lords of State, Viceroy of Zunidh, Tanà of the Wide Sea."
• Harry Potter:
  • "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Order of Merlin, First Class; Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, and Grand Sorcerer. And Chocolate Frog Card... guy." Fittingly, he seems fonder of that last one than any of the others.
  • Though his titles are somewhat less illustrious and fraudulent (with the possible exception of the Charming Smile Awards), we also have "Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League, and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-Smile Award."
• The Hobbit: At one point, Bilbo makes a Badass Boast that consists of titles he claims, including "Clue Finder, Webcutter, Ringwinner, Luckwearer, He Who Walks Unseen, and Barrel Rider." Long after his death, Bilbo was turned into a fairy tale character known as "Mad Baggins". Tolkien was a scholar of medieval Germanic languages, a culture that used titles rather than surnames to distinguish historical figures (Olaf Skullsplitter and Njal the Burnt). Tolkien might have been suggesting that Bilbo is lapsing into the more "Norse" culture of Wilderland and starting to forget the "respectable Mr. Baggins" that he was at the start of his journey. Later in the story, he comes to regret recklessly naming himself; Smaug deduces from "Barrel Rider" that he'd come from Lake-town, leading him to attack the town.
• Honor Harrington:
  • By the later books, the main character's full title is "Admiral of the Fleet and Captain HMS Unconquered Lady Dame Honor Stephanie Alexander-Harrington KGC MC PMV SG, Duchess and Steadholder Harrington, Countess White Haven."
  • Also, W.E.B. Du Havel has an unspecified amount of Ph.D.s (most of which aren't honorary), the Nobel-Shakra Prize for Human Aspiration, and the Solarian Medallion.
  • Honor's boss is "Elizabeth Adrienne Samantha Annette Winton, Grand Commander of the Order of King Roger, Grand Commander of the Order of Queen Elizabeth I, Grand Commander of the Order of the Golden Lion, Baroness of Crystal Pine, Baroness of White Sand, Countess of Tannerman, Countess of High Garnet, Grand Duchess of Basilisk, Princess Protector of the Realm, and, by God's grace and the will of Parliament, Queen Elizabeth III of the Star Kingdom of Manticore, and Empress Elizabeth I of the Star Empire of Manticore." Or Beth to her friends.
• John Carter of Mars has numerous egotistical Evil Overlords as villains, which results in more than a few of these floating around. Particularly notable is the High Priest of the Path of Inspiration: "Matai Shang, Holy Hekkador of the Holy Therns, Father of the Therns, Brother of Issus, Master of Life and Death Upon Barsoom." The self-deified Issus is supposed to have over ninety titles, though mercifully only one (Goddess of Life Eternal) is generally used.
  • John Carter himself is "Dotar Sojat Chieftain of the Tharks, Prince of Helium, Jeddak of Jeddaks, Warlord of Mars."
• Happens in Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series as Arthur acquires more and more territories, and with them the titles due to their ruler. Parodied at one point when Suzy adds "Eater of the Biscuit" to the list. "Master of the Lower House, Lord of the Far Reaches, Duke of the Border Sea, Commander of the Glorious Army of the Architect... Anointed Heir to the Kingdom, New Architect (Art to his friends, still eats biscuits), temporarily a Sorcerous Supernumary, 2nd Lieutenant Ray Green in the Glorious Army of the Architect," and probably a large number more.
• The Knight and Rogue Series has "The man whose name is not Jack Bannister" who, admittedly, in neither the one who came up with that title nor using the name Jack Bannister anymore. It's mostly how Fisk refers to him.
• In Line of Delirium, The Emperor has a number of titles that are typically recited at official events, including "Ruler of Endoria and Terra, Protector of Gorra, Guardian of Tauri, Sovereign of the colonies". The one title that no longer applies is "Father of the Three Sisters", as the three colonies of the Shedar System were invaded by the Sakkra and then bombarded with meson bombs on the Emperor's orders.
• In The Locked Tomb the Emperor of the Nine Houses has had ten thousand years to accumulate titles. The full list is never said, but includes: "The Man Who Became God and the God Who Became Man, The King Undying, the Necrolord Prime, God, the Resurrector, Kindly Prince of Death, the Necromancer Divine, His Celestial Kindliness, Lord of the Sharpest Edge, Ransomer of Death, Scourge of Death, Vindicator of Death, the First Reborn." Harrow is somewhat disappointed to learn his actual name is John.
• The King's titles in Randall Garrett's Lord Darcy stories: "John IV, by the Grace of God, King and Emperor of England, France, Scotland, Ireland, New England and New France, King of the Romans and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Defender of the Faith." That's the short version. The long one includes a bunch of knightly orders and additional Alternate Universe name-drops (e.g. Supreme Chief of the Moqtessumid Clan).
• The Lord of the Rings: "Aragorn, son of Arathorn, Chieftain of the Dúnedain of the North, King of Arnor, King of Gondor, and Lord of Andúnië" (It bears mentioning that Andúnië now lies at the bottom of the sea.) Also known as Elessar Telcontar, Strider, Wingfoot, Longshanks, and Thorongil, alias Estel.
• A later book in The Lost Fleet series gives us one "His Excellency Captain Commodore First Rank Stellar Guard of the Fist of the People Earun Tavistorevas, Paramount of the Shield of Sol," commander of a small and not very impressive taskforce of warships "guarding" the Sol system from the supposed aggression of The Alliance, who built a hyperspace gate there without securing the necessary planning permission.^note Considering what happens when a hyperspace gate gets blown up, which the Alliance didn't find out until much later they might have had a point in hindsight. He gets very tetchy when Admiral Geary shortens his title to the more manageable "Captain-Commodore Tavistorevas", and the conversation just goes downhill from there.
• Invoked in David Eddings' The Mallorean. Ce'nedra, wanting to get rid of an emissary so she can speak to her husband privately, announces her entrance to the room with all of her titles (Her Royal Majesty Queen Ce'Nedra of Riva, Imperial Princess of the Tolnedran Empire, Commander of the Armies of the West) and then all of Garion's titles (His Royal Majesty King Belgarion of Riva, Godslayer, Lord of the Western Sea, and Overlord of the West). The overwhelmed emissary takes his leave.
  • And lampshades in the first book of the Mallorean, when Garion thinks about his various titles. King of Riva isn't too much of an issue as the Rivans are a fairly sedate people, Lord of the Western Sea isn't an issue, since fish do a good job of ruling themselves, and Godslayer wasn't going to come up all that often. It was the Overlord of the West that gave him all the headaches since the other Alorn Kings tended to dump all their problems up the chain of command far too often.
• A Master of Djinn: At the end, Ahmad calls himself “Lord Sobek, Masters of the Waters, the Rager, Lord of Faiyum, Defender of the Land, General of the Royal Armies” in his letter to Fatma.
• Mediochre Q Seth Serie: Mediochre Q Seth's full title is "Professor Doctor Laird Sir Mediochre Quirinius Seth, PhD MusD MSc CBE OBE MIMC VC-Bar"—and he also has a Grade 8 in Piano.
• Masks of Aygrima: "His Royal Highness Chell cor Chell cor Arriken, Prince of the Golden Shore, Duke of the Southern Deep, and Protector of the Holy Fountain."
• Prince Caspian, when Peter sends his challenge to Miraz and has to "recall to his mind the language in which he had written such things long ago in Narnia's Golden Age":
  Peter, by the Gift of Aslan, by election, by prescription, and by conquest, High King over all Kings in Narnia, Emperor of the Lone Islands and Lord of Cair Paravel, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Lion, to Miraz, Son of Caspian the Eighth, sometime Lord Protector of Narnia and now styling himself King of Narnia, Greeting.
  • And then, just to rub it in, Peter adds the almost-as-long string of titles belonging to Edmund, who is delivering the message for him: "Edmund the Just, Duke of Lantern Waste, Count of the Western March and Knight of the Noble Order of the Table."
• In The Prince Commands, the eponymous prince's full name is "Michael Karl Johann Stefan Rene Eric Marie, Prince and Lord of Rein, First Lord of the Kingdom, Duke of Casnov, Count of Urnt, Baron of Kelive," plus several others, including colonelcy of three different units.
• In The Queen's Thief, Eugenides racks up a long list of titles over the years, cumulating in: "Attolis Eugenides Eugenideides, By the will of the Great Goddess, annux over Hephestia's Peninsula, king of Attolia, king over Sounis, and Eddis, king from the Macheddic Mountains to the sea, king from the Melenzetti Pass to the River Lusimina, and by my oath to my god, now and for my life, Thief of Eddis."
• "Hugo Rune, the Guru's Guru, the Logos of the Aeon, the Mumbo Gumshoe, Hocus Bloke, the Lad Himself, the Re-Inventor of the Ocarina, the Perfect Master, the Cosmic Dick, the Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived," in the works of Robert Rankin.
• Redwall: The Big Bad of Mossflower is Tsarmina Greeneyes, Queen of Mossflower, Lady of the Thousand Eyes, Slayer of Enemies, Ruler of Kotir, Conqueror of all Creatures, and Daughter of Lord Greeneyes. She takes offense to the last one (having murdered her father for leadership) and has it stricken and replaced with "Tsarmina the Magnificent."
• The Reynard Cycle: "His Royal Highness, Lionel the First, King of Arcasia, Duke of Arcas, Lord of Calyx, and Protector of the Realm."
• In the Sherlock Holmes story The Adventure of the Priory School, Watson comments that the man's asking them for help has too many honors for his business card. He's there on the behalf of a Duke; Holmes checks his reference book on current nobility and reads aloud thus: "'Holdernesse, 6th Duke. K.G., P.C.' — half the alphabet!" (note: positions were often abbreviated. So Justice of the Peace would be J.P.) "'Baron Beverly, Earl of Carston' — dear me, what a list! 'Lord Lieutenant of Hallamshire since 1900. Married Edith, daughter of Sir Charles Appledore, 188. Heir and only child, Lord Saltire. Owns about two hundred and fifty thousand acres. Minerals in Lancashire and Wales. Address: Carston House Terrace; Holdernesse Hall, Hallamshire; Carston Castle, Bangor., Wales. Lord of Admirality, 1872. Chief Secretary of State for' — Well, well, this man is certainly one of the greatest subjects of the Crown!"
  • In "The Bruce-Partington Plans," Mycroft mentions "Sir James Walter, whose decorations and sub-titles fill two lines of a book of reference."
• A Song of Ice and Fire: Lords and monarchs all have a long list of titles:
  • "Joffrey of the Houses Baratheon and Lannister, the First of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm."
  • "Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Shackles and Mother of Dragons." She's usually known as Dany.
  • Before her, the Targaryens began with "Aegon the Conqueror, First of His Name, King of All Westeros, Shield of His People, King of the Andals, the Rhonyar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm." The name was adjusted for each successive king thereafter. However, the bit about the seven kingdoms is a big fat lie. Up until Daeron II, the Targaryen dynasty had no rule over the solidly independent Dorne.
  • "Balon Greyjoy the Ninth of his Name since the Grey King, King of the Iron Islands and the North, King of Salt and Rock, Son of the Sea Wind, Lord Reaper of Pyke and Captain of the Great Kraken."
  • "Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell, Lord Paramount of the North, Warden of the North, and Hand of the King." They mostly call him Ned.
  • "Lord Petyr Baelish, Lord of Harrenhal, Lord Paramount of the Trident, Lord Protector of the Vale and former Master of Coin." Not included in this list: his Embarrassing Nickname Littlefinger.
  • Most of the Northern lords tend not to have long and fancy titles, further indicating the cultural disdain toward the more courtly and knightly (Read "Frivolous") practices of the South. The Manderlys are the main exception, as they were once a southern house themselves. The one with the longest train of titles that we know of was: "Lord Torrhen Manderly, Lord of White Harbour, Warden of the White Knife, Shield of the Faith, Defender of the Dispossessed, Lord Marshal of the Mander, Knight of the Order of the Green Hand, Lord Regent and Hand of the King." Whew! Wyman, the present day Lord Manderly, is only lacking the titles of Regent and King's Hand.
  • And of course the Big Baddy of them all: "Tywin, Son of Tytos of House Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Warden of the West, Shield of Lannisport, Savior of the City, and Hand of the King." He's probably the only character with the stones to justify their grandiose title.
  • "Leyton of House Hightower, Lord of the Hightower, Lord of the Port, Voice of the Oldtown, Defender of the Citadel and Beacon of the South." And then it becomes worst if we go back to the titles of the Hightower Kings of the age of heroes, according to A World of Ice and Fire—you take all these titles and you add': "King of the High Tower, King of the Lighthouse, Lord of the Battle Isle, Killer of the Dragon who Lived, Warden of the Whispering Sound, Protector of the Ships of the Honeywine..." Loads and Loads of titles.
• In Tales of the Magic Land, Urfin Jus had to cut his title by half after his ministers tried to repeat it.
• In The Thinking Machine stories, the Thinking Machine's real name is "Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, Ph.D., LL.D., F.R.S., M.D., M.D.S.". Several of the stories add 'etc., etc.' to show that this is not the complete list of Van Dusen's titles.
• In User Unfriendly by Vivian Vande Velde, dwarf characters in the Rasmussem virtual reality game introduce themselves by listing their name and title, followed by the names and titles of all their ancestors. For example, the dwarf member of the party is "Feordin Macewielder, son of Feordan Sturdyaxe, grandson of Feordane Boldheart, brother to Feordone the Fearless, great-grandson of Feordine Stoutarm who served under Graggaman Maximus". After he is first introduced, the protagonist points out that this is a relatively short list of titles for a dwarf in the setting.
• Most rulers in The Wheel of Time tend to have these kinds of titles:
  • The Amyrlin seat is: "Watcher of the Seals, the Flame of Tar Valon, the Amyrlin Seat."
  • Rand is named a truly astonishing number of things, although some are carryovers from his last incarnation, Lews Therin Telamon. Altogether, he is: "The Dragon Reborn/The Dragon, the Coramoor, The Car'a'carn, He Who Comes With the Dawn, Shadowkiller, King of Illian, Blademaster, Founder of the Black Tower, Summoner of the Rods of Dominion, Bearer of the Ring of Tamyrlin, First Among Servants, The Promised One, Champion of the Light, Lord of the Morning, Prince of the Dawn, True Defender of Light." He actually sometimes intentionally introduces himself with none of them whatsoever, using simply his name or perhaps just his primary title, in a display which seems to simply intensify the effect and make people even more conscious of just how much of the Westland is under his control (answer, around half-ish).
  • The Queen of Andor is styled as " [Name], by the Grace of the Light, Queen of Andor, Defender of the Realm, Protector of the People, High Seat of House [Surname]."
  • Lampshaded as being a predilection chiefly of the southern monarchs; the northern ones, particularly on the Borderlands, tend to avert this. Lan is this trope though—al'Lan Mandragoran, Lord of the Seven Towers, Lord of the Lakes, True Blade of Malkier, Defender of the Wall of First Fires, Bearer of the Sword of the Thousand Lakes, May He Sever the Shadow, Warder to Moiraine Sedai of the Blue Ajah / Nynaeve Sedai of the Yellow Ajah—but he almost never uses his doorstopper title.
• In Wicked, Elphaba mocks Fiyero by stating he has one of these: "Lord Sir Fiyero, Arijiki Prince of Kiamo Ko, Mightiest Stalker of the Thousand Year Grasslands, Chiefest Chieftain in the Great Kells."
• In The Witcher, the various royal and noble characters whom Geralt meets tend to fall into this trope. Some examples include:
  • "His Majesty King Foltest of Temeria, Prince of Sodden, Sovereign of Pontaria and Mahakam, Suzerain of Ellander, Senior Protector of Brugge, Angren and Riverdell."
  • "His Majesty Emhyr Var Emreis, the White Flame Dancing on the Barrows of His Enemies, Imperator of Nilfgaard, King of Cintra, Lord of Metinna, Ebbing and Gemmera, Sovereign of Nazair and Vicovaro.
  • "His Majesty Henselt, King of Kaedwen, heir to the Dynasty of the Unicorn, Lord of Ard Carraigh, Archduke of Ban Ard, and vanquisher of Nilfgaard.
  • "Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, Queen of Cintra, Princess of Brugge and Duchess of Sodden, heiress to Inis Ard Skellig and Inis An Skellig, and suzeraine of Attre and Abb Yarra." And that's just to start with. Should she take Emhyr up on his proposal in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and succeed him, she gains his many titles and more.

Live-Action TV

• Angel: "Cordelia Chase, The Venerable Monarch of Pylea, General of the Ravenous Legions, Eater of Our Enemy's Flesh, Prelate of the Sacrificial Blood Rites, and Sovereign Proconsul of Death."
• Lampshaded by Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory: "I'm Dr Sheldon Cooper, BS, MS, MA, PhD, and SCD... OMG, right?"
• In Crossing Jordan, when Dr. Jack Slocum takes over, the sign on his door reads Dr. Jack Slocum, MD, PhD, JD. Lily calls it "terrifying".
• In Emerald City, each of the Cardinal Witches has a string of titles attached to their office:
  • Glinda is the Maiden of Northern Light, Mother of the Sound and Pure.
  • East is the Mistress of the Eastern Woods, Most Merciful and Stern.
  • West is the Mistress of the Western Fields, Vessel of Truth and Solace.
    West: Enough! I spend half my life waiting to walk into rooms.
• Galavant: At the end of season 1, King Richard's older brother, Kingsley, has returned from self-imposed exile, driven out Richard, and claimed his throne. When Richard's bodyguard, Gareth, is trying to explain why he let Richard escape, Richard's wife, Queen Madalena, gets tired of Kingsley and stabs him in the back. Gareth takes his place, and by the first episode of season 2 his official title has become the guy who was with the queen when she killed the guy who was kinda the king. And everyone refers to him that way every time. By the end of the episode, Madalena lets him officially become king just to make his title easier.
• Game of Thrones:
  • Lampshaded by King Robert Baratheon. Lying on his deathbed and dictating his will to Ned Stark, he realises he's going to have to list the stupidly long train of titles that officially follow his name (see above: Literature: A Song of Ice and Fire), which results in this chuckle-worthy line:
    Robert: In the name of Robert, of the House Baratheon, first of... oh you know how it goes, fill in the damn titles... I hereby command Eddard of House Stark, titles, titles,...
  • Later lampshaded by Littlefinger. When he becomes Lord of Harrenhal, upon learning of the other titles his arranged marriage will associate him with, Littlefinger quips "Titles do seem to breed titles."
  • Played perfectly straight by Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Defender of the Faith, Princess of Dragonstone, Liberator of Astapor and Yunkai, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons. Unusually for this trope, in addition to her inherited titles, several of these are titles that we have actually seen Daenerys earn personally over the course of the series. That's why her list is a little longer. Her titles are basically a summary of her story arc. She has so many that Missandei, who is usually the one announcing all these titles, has been known to mix up the order on occasion.
  • Jon Snow, to a lesser extent. Jon Snow, King in the North and the Vale, Lord of Winterfell, The Man Who Returned From The Dead, The White Wolf, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and, quite possibly, Rightful King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men.
    • However, when Jon Snow finally does meet Queen Daenerys, there's a comic sequence when he and Davos Seaworth listen to her by then looong list of titles, only for Davos to introduce Jon lamely, "This is Jon Snow... he's King in the North.". Davos isn't one for standing on ceremony. It also underscores the fact that Daenerys is in Westeros now where her Essos titles do not mean much and she has not really earned her Westeros titles yet. Jon being King in the North is a very big deal and he does not need much more to establish who he is.
  • Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Hand of the King and Savior of the City, which is ironic considering the previous time he led an army to King's Landing was to sack it. In the books, he also holds the honorific title of Shield of Lannisport.
  • Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, Lord of Highgarden, Lord Paramount of the Reach, and Master of Coin. Or as Davos calls him, "Lord of Lofty Titles".
• In Get Smart, Johnny Carson had a cameo as a herald announcing a princess:
  Hear ye, hear ye! Announcing the arrival of her royal highness, daughter of the King of Esterhagen, Duchess of Baravia, lady in waiting to the dowager queen of Lichtenstein, heiress apparent to the Barony of Lowengrau, grand-niece to the Duke of Groustark, first cousin to the Count of Montevillio, third cousin once removed to the burgermeister of Camenbrau, the betrothed of King Charles of Caronia, her royal highness, Princess... (pauses, looks confused, leaves, then returns a few seconds later) ...Marta!
• Lampshaded by Alf Stewart in Home and Away, talking about his sister, who is a judge. "She might have a lot of letters in front of her name, but whichever way you arrange them, they still spell 'idiot'."
• In the second episode of Horatio Hornblower, Horatio is handed an announcement from a Spanish dignitary to translate^note the letter itself being in French and finds a long list after the Duke of Belchite's name, reading each one out as though he's hoping this will be the last one and finding it's not. Captain Pellew eventually gets fed up and cuts him off.
  Horatio: His Excellency the Duke of Belchite, Grandee of the First Class, Commander-in-Chief of His Catholic Majesty's Forces by Land and by Sea, Knight of the Most Sacred Order of the Golden Fleece, First Minister of His Most Catholic Majesty, Captain-General of Andalucia—
  Pellew: Yes, yes, I think we've established our friend the Duke's eminence! What else does it say?
• Parodied in Kaamelott. Merlin explains that when two enchanters have a Wizard Duel, it's traditional for them to use all their titles beforehand. However, he cuts it short when he realizes Elias's list is much more impressive.
  Merlin: Elias of Kelliwic'h; Great Enchanter of the North, Caller of the Caledonian Wolves, Slayer of the Dragon of Snows, Creator of the Potion of Omnipotence, Seer of...
  Arthur: [interrupts] Enough! You don't need to spout off his entire resume, do you?
  Merlin: It's a wizard thing; it's how we greet each other...
  Elias: Merlin; Enchanter of Britain, Defeater of the Winchester Weasel, Creator of the Potion of Ingrown Nails Cure, Author of the scroll Druidism Explained to Old Folks...
  Merlin: [interrupts] Yeah, alright, alright. [to Arthur] You were right, it's gonna take forever.
• The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Galadriel of the Noldor, Daughter of the Golden House of Finarfin, Commander of the Northern Armies of High King Gil-galad
  • ... and Halbrand of the Southlands.
• One Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch has the camera pan over an overly long name plate ^note It actually goes off the edge of the desk and around two walls, including a liftable section in front of the door. reading: Professor Sir Sir Adrian Furrows F.R.S., F.RC.S., F.R.C.P., M.D.M.S.

• Nevernight Chronicles: At one point Mia lists her titles as Mia Corvere. Blade of the Red Church. Champion of the Venatus Magni. Chosen of the Dark Mother and Queen of Scoundrels. The former eventually becomes "Lady of Blades" and she could've also added Hero of Stormwatch and Champion of the Remus Collegium
• Lampshaded in the first episode of Psych: Gus learns that Shawn named his Phony Psychic detective agency "Psych" and sarcastically suggests that he call it "Hey, we're fooling you and the police department; hope we don't make a mistake and someone dies because of it." Shawn, Comically Missing the Point, responds, "Gus, that name is entirely too long, it would never fit on the window."
• Red Dwarf: Rimmer, sad pathetic weasel of a man that he is, would give his full title as Arnold J. Rimmer, BSc, SSc —in this case they stand for Bronze Swimming Certificate and Silver Swimming Certificate. This is made even worse when it's stated in one episode that he can't swim, meaning he was self-aggrandizing with forged/stolen swimming certificates, of all things!
• Star Trek: The Next Generation: Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. As her daughter Deanna deadpans in one episode:
  The Sacred Chalice of Rixx is an old clay pot with mold growing inside it.
  • In the novel Star Trek: The Battle of Betazed, other Betazoid nobles are shown to have equally lengthy titles: Sark Enaran is the scion of the Fourth House of Betazed, Heir to the Blessed Books of Katara, and Holder of the Sacred Scepter of Betazed.
  • Another Novel claims that this is what Betazoids have in lieu of surnames, so everyone on the planet introduces themselves like this.
  • Memory Alpha's article on Worf introduces him as Worf—son of Mogh, of the Klingon House of Martok, of the Human family Rozhenko; mate to K'Ehleyr, father to Alexander Rozhenko, and husband to Jadzia Dax; Starfleet officer and soldier of the Empire; bane of the House of Duras; slayer of Gowron; Federation ambassador to Qo'noS. Strangely, they don't seem to open any other character articles this way.
• Star Trek: Voyager: According to the episode "Projections", the full filename for Voyager's EMH is Emergency Medical Holographic Program AK-1 Diagnostic and Surgical Subroutine Omega 323. No wonder everyone calls him The Doctor.
• In Star Trek: Discovery, Philippa Georgiou's Mirror Universe Evil Doppelgänger's full title is Her Most Imperial Majesty, Mother of the Fatherland, Overlord of Vulcan, Dominus of Qo'noS,^note deliberately mispronounced as "Kronos" Regina Andoria, Emperor of the Terran Empire Philippa Georgiou Augustus Iaponius Centarius.

• The Qur'an opens "In the name of Allah, the All Beneficent, The Most Merciful in Essence, The Compassionate, The Most Gracious..." and according to Islam, although there's no definitive list, there's another 95 attributes of God.
• Many religions give their god (or gods) many names; although Islam (at 99) takes the cake (the Baha'i have 100, but it's the Muslim list plus one), many other religions send God's names into double digits; this includes Judaism, where one of the most common names of God is... The Name (Ha Shem in Hebrew - it's a euphemism for another name which is considered too holy to use). Even those religions which feature more than one deity often give each deity many names and titles; for instance, Classical Mythology gives us Zeus Meilichios, Zeus Plousios, and so on, each referring to a different aspect of Zeus; the same is true of Athena Parthenos, Tritogeneia, Ageleia, Itonia, Athena Ergane, Athena Polias...
• Odin gets this as well, and has been referenced by over 200 names such as Allfather, Oathbreaker, The Wise One, Enemy of the Wolf, Lord of the Aesir, Friend of Wealth, One Eye, Spear Shaker, Father of Baldur, Father of Thor, Son of Borr, Flaming Eye, The Delight of Frigg, Father of Magic Songs, Masked One, Wanderer, Long Beard,God of Battle, Raven God, Battle Wolf, Terrible One, etc., etc.
• In the Book of Isaiah in The Bible, a child (taken by many Christians to be a prophesy of Christ) is described as follows (NIV): "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
  • This is lampshaded in Barbara Robinson's book The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Upon hearing the verse, a young child shouts, "My God! He'd never make it through the third grade if he had to write all that!"
  • In Paul's epistles, he typically introduces himself by variations of the relatively short "Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God". But in his letter to the Romans, he really rambles on:
  Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,
  To all those in Rome...
• According to the Catholic Church, the titles given to Jesus and the Virgin Mary in their respective litanies:
  • For Jesus: Son of the living God, splendor of the Father, brightness of eternal light, King of glory, sun of justice, Son of the Virgin Mary, most amiable, most admirable, the mighty God, Father of the world to come, angel of great counsel, most powerful, most patient, most obedient, meek and humble of heart, lover of chastity, lover of us, God of peace, author of life, example of virtues, zealous lover of souls, our God, our refuge, father of the poor, treasure of the faithful, good Shepherd, true light, eternal wisdom, infinite goodness, our way and our life, joy of Angels, King of the Patriarchs, Master of the Apostles, teacher of the Evangelists, strength of Martyrs, light of Confessors, purity of Virgins and crown of Saints
  • For Mary: Holy Mary, Holy Mother of God, Holy Virgin of virgins, Mother of Christ, Mother of divine grace, Mother most pure, Mother most chaste, Mother inviolate, Mother undefiled, Mother most amiable, Mother most admirable, Mother of good counsel, Mother of our Creator, Mother of our Savior, Virgin most prudent, Virgin most venerable, Virgin most renowned, Virgin most powerful, Virgin most merciful, Virgin most faithful, Mirror of justice, Seat of wisdom, Cause of our joy, Spiritual vessel, Vessel of honor, Singular vessel of devotion, Mystical rose, Tower of David, Tower of ivory, House of gold, Ark of the Covenant, Gate of Heaven, Morning star, Health of the sick, Refuge of sinners, Comforter of the afflicted, Help of Christians, Queen of angels, Queen of patriarchs, Queen of prophets, Queen of apostles, Queen of martyrs, Queen of confessors, Queen of virgins, Queen of all saints, Queen conceived without Original Sin, Queen assumed into Heaven, Queen of the most holy Rosary and Queen of peace.
    • The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary used to be a lot longer until the Church came in and removed all the titles that do not refer to an explicit biblical passage.
• The God of Hindu mythology have all others beat. Several of the major gods have a list of a thousand names call "sahasranamavali," which literally means "list of a thousand names." Of course, no one except priests remembers the meanings of all of them.
• Before the current Communist (and thus nominally atheist) regime, China had a Celestial Bureaucracy, and its various gods (yes, even the Odd Job Gods) had such titles; in fact, various dynasties had a habit of "appointing" patron deities to an increasingly long list of titles.
  • An example of this is Guan Yu. In 1614, the Wanli Emperor bestowed on Guan Yu the title "Holy Emperor Guan, the Great God Who Subdues Demons in the Three Worlds and Whose Awe Spreads Far and Moves Heaven". During the Qing dynasty, the Shunzhi Emperor gave Guan Yu the title of "Guan, the Loyal and Righteous God of War, the Holy Great Deity" in 1644. This title was expanded to "Guan the Holy Great Deity; God of War Manifesting Benevolence, Bravery and Prestige; Protector of the Country and Defender of the People; Prow and Honest Supporter of Peace and Reconciliation; Promoter of Morality, Loyalty and Righteousness", a total of 24 Chinese characters, by the mid-19th century.
• According to legend (the historical veracity is up for debate) Sultan Mehmed IV sent a letter to the Zaporozhian Cossacks, demanding they submit to his rule. He included a list of his titles to begin the letter
  As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God Himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians – I command you, the Zaporogian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.
  • The Cossacks replied, decidedly not in the affirmative, and had some fun making up a new list of titles for the Sultan. This included possibly the longest string of unbroken insults ever put to paper.
  Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!

Podcasts

• In The Hidden Almanac, mention is occasionally made of friend-of-the-podcast Her Imperial Majesty Queen Raganthoth IV, Ruler of the Glass Wastes and Protector of the Coriander Isles.
• Gillion Tidestrider in Just Roll With It Show has a never-ending list of titles that he has given himself. These include Gillion Tidestrider, champion of the undersea, hero of the deep, singer and songwriter of Gillion And The Tidestrider's "Hole in Your Heart", walking fish, knighter of Julien that one time, moisture master, The One, Paramount Champion, Defenestrator of Adulterers, Weed Eater, and Horse Tamer.

Tabletop Games

• Dungeons & Dragons:
  • Gnomes, or at least the ones from Dragonlance, are said to collect names like some people collect stamps. They start out with a birth name and a family name, then get a childhood nickname, adult name, and any earned nicknames along the way. Their towns are named in a similar fashion. The capital's name is "Mount Nevermind", "nevermind" being what a human ambassador hastily interrupted with when he made the mistake of asking what the gnomes called it.
  • The Forgotten Realms setting has the desert region of Calimshan, where names and titles are a matter of pride. A Calishite name would start by listing the person's titles from greatest importance to least, and then their given name, the name of their parents, the family name, and the name of their hometown, in that order. In a formal setting, it's customary to address a Calishite with as long and complete a name as possible. People in the higher classes often have an abundance of titles, to the point that many choose to omit them for the sake of brevity, performing an annuv gesture in place of each title omitted.
• Exalted:
  • The Celestial Bureaucracy is made of this trope. Just for reference, terms like the Bureau of Destiny? Those are the unofficial names; the real name is Most Excellent Designers of Destiny and Sidereal Conjunctions, and the rest of the Bureaucracy has similarly lengthy and grandiose titles.
  • Deathlords also really enjoy this. The Princess Magnificent with Lips of Coral and Robes of Black Feathers would be the stand-out, and it's small wonder she's simply referred to as Princess Birdhat by the fans.
  • Autochthonia probably takes the cake, though, at least with one of the major segments of society: "The Five Magnificent Sodalities of Penultimate Truth and Intransigent Gospel", a machine priesthood (complete with reciting long prayers to the Great Maker before so much as turning on a light). Each of said Five Magnificent Sodalities has its own flowery name: the aforementioned lamp-lighters are properly referred to as "The Glorious Luminors of the Brilliant Rapture", for example.
• Iron Kingdoms: In WARMACHINE/HORDES, there is the Farrow Warlock called Lord Carver, Bringer of Most Massive Destruction, Esquire, the Third, Minion Farrow Warlock. It's abbreviated as Lord Carver, BMMD, Esq. III on his tracker/spell cards, and it still barely fits.
• Vampire: The Requiem: The Ordo Dracul loves long and florid titles that describe things like the supernatural abilities they've attained, their role in the Order's mystic research, and their political achievements. For example: Philosopher of the Burning Terror, Sworn of the Dying Light, Guardian of the Mountain, Kogaion of the City. They also Exploit this when outsiders are present by adding Spy Speak fake titles that pass covert information to other Ordo members.
• Warhammer:
  • Warhammer 40,000: The Chaos Marine Lord Lufgt Huron has acquired many titles over his years of rebellion and piracy including the Tyrant of Badab, the Blackheart, Master of the Red Corsairs, Lord of the Maelstrom, the Blood Reaver.
  • The Chaos God Tzeentch has more titles than his brother gods including the Architect of Fate, the Changer of the Ways, the Great Conspirator, the Great Mutator, the Great Schemer, the Master of Fortune and the Trickster Supreme.
  • Warhammer Fantasy:
    • Tomb Kings tend to accumulate these over long lives and centuries of unlife. The first and greatest of them, Settra, has a list that it takes his herald two hours to recite, usually shortened to "the Imperishable".
    • The Ogre Kingdoms are led by Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth, or to give him his full title, Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Gatecrasher Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese.
    • Archaon the Everchosen, the current Everchosen of the forces of Chaos and a strong contender for the Big Bad of the setting, has quite a few titles, with Everchosen simply being the most important. They include Lord of the End Times, Chaos Incarnate, Herald of the Apocalypse, Warlord of the forces of Chaos United, Scourge of the Empire, Destroyer of Worlds, and most recently also Exalted Grand Marshal of the Apocalypse. In a Badass Boast he once gave, he also called himself the Anointed, the Favored Son of Chaos, the Scourge of the World.
    • The full title of the leader of the Empire is Karl Franz I von Holswig-Schliestein, Protector of the Empire, Defier of the Dark, Emperor Himself and the Son of Emperors, Elector Count of Reikland, Prince of Altdorf and Count of the West March.

Theatre

• In The Mikado, Pooh-Bah is: Master of the Rolls, Master of the Buckhounds, Groom of the Backstairs, First Lord of the Treasury, Solicitor, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney-General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, Lord Chief Justice, Leader of the Opposition, Paymaster-General, Lord High Auditor, Archbishop of Titipu, First Commissioner of Police, Private Secretary, Groom of the Second Floor Front, Lord Mayor and Judge Ordinary. Indeed the only position in city government he does not hold is that of Lord High Executioner; his shorter title is Lord High Everything Else. Modern productions like to add some titles, to introduce more contemporary humour. Examples would be Director of Homeland Security or Husband of Elizabeth Taylor.
• In Once Upon a Mattress, Winnifred's title is Princess of Icolmkill, Guardian of the Midgard Serpent and Warden of the Ragnorok Marsh Lily.
• Lampshaded by Joan of Arc (La Pucelle) in Shakespeare's Henry VI Part 1, Act 4, Scene 7:
  Lucy: But where's the great Alcides of the field,
  Valiant Lord Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury,
  Created, for his rare success in arms,
  Great Earl of Washford, Waterford and Valence;
  Lord Talbot of Goodrig and Urchinfield,
  Lord Strange of Blackmere, Lord Verdun of Alton,
  Lord Cromwell of Wingfield, Lord Furnival of Sheffield,
  The thrice-victorious Lord of Falconbridge;
  Knight of the noble order of Saint George,
  Worthy Saint Michael and the Golden Fleece;
  Great marshal to Henry the Sixth
  Of all his wars within the realm of France?
  JOAN LA PUCELLE: Here is a silly stately style indeed!
  The Turk, that two and fifty kingdoms hath,
  Writes not so tedious a style as this.
  Him that thou magnifiest with all these titles
  Stinking and fly-blown lies here at our feet.

  Smartest Creature in All the Land, Really Clever Like That Einstein Guy But More Handsome and- Okay Hit The Word Count
• The Pretenders of Dominions are assigned titles after their name dependent on a variety of factors known and unknown, including magic skills, form, and scales. So a god's full name can stretch to something like, to give an actual example, Manvale, Lord of Fear and Trembling, King of Suicides, the One Always at the Shoulder, Guardian of the Dead, Lord of Plagues.
• Dragon Age:
  • The Warden in Dragon Age: Origins, if you play as the Human Noble, can eventually be styled as: His/Her Royal Highness Lord/Lady Cousland, Queen/Prince-Consort of Ferelden, Teyrn/a of Gwaren, Arl/essa of Denerim, Arl/essa of Amaranthine, heir/ess presumptive to the Teyrnir of Highever, Warden-Commander of the Order of Fereldan Grey Wardens, Hero of Ferelden.
  • Cassandra Pentaghast from Dragon Age: Inquisition has both this and an Overly Long Name. ^note Her full set of titles, not including her sixteen names, would be Lady Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast, Right Hand of the Divine Justinia V, fourteenth cousin of the King of Nevarra, nine times removed, Hero of Orlais, and Agent of the Holy Inquisition. Cassandra—being Cassandra—will accompany you to the Empress's ball in Orlais and tell the page reading her names to just skip ahead.
  • Leliana, by the time of Inquisition, has a pretty extensive list of titles herself. If she was romanced in the first game by a human noble who married the monarch of Ferelden, she is identified at the Orlesian ball as Lady Leliana, Nightingale of the Imperial Court, veteran of the Fifth Blight, mistress to the Queen/Prince-Consort of Ferelden, Seneschal of the Inquisition, and Left Hand of the Divine.
  • The Inquisitor will also get an introduction like this, though the exact details it includes depend on the origin you chose and also whether you recruited the mages or the Templars to help you seal the Breach.
  • In the Inquisition DLC Jaws of Hakkon, the eponymous group is led by a man called Gurd Harofsen, called the Cutter, wyvern-slayer, lowlands-bane.
• In Dwarf Fortress, this can happen to just about anything if they kill enough, even animals. Also in DF, when you encounter a demon in adventure mode they will give a huge list of titles, names, and deeds when they introduce themselves (before lighting you on fire and beating you to death with their elf bone crown.)
• The Elder Scrolls:
  • Morrowind:
    • Leaving aside the optional joinable factions, the Nerevarine is Nerevarine and Hortator (of House Hlaalu, House Redoran and House Telvanni), Hearthfriend of the Ashlanders, Bloodskaal to the Skaal and Operative in the Blades (although that last is supposed to be secret and so not actually put on a business card). If optional joinable factions are included, this is easily doubled: Factor in the East Empire Company, Master of the Fighters Guild, Primate of the Imperial Cult, Knight of the Imperial Dragon in the Imperial Legion's Order of Ebonheart, Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild, Master Thief of the Thieves Guild, Grandmaster of the Morag Tong, Patriarch of the Tribunal Temple and either Archmagister of House Telvanni, Archmaster of House Redoran or Grandmaster of House Hlaalu).
    • In the backstory, the Dwemer architect who devised a method and the tools necessary to tap into the Heart of Lorkhan, Kagrenac, had such a title: Chief Tonal Architect, Magecrafter, High Priest, High Engineer, Arcane Philosopher, and Pioneer in the field of Mythopeic Forces.
  • Oblivion: Quoting from the Dude, Where's My Respect? page, "Hello, I'm Sheogorath, Prince of Madness and Lord of the Shivering Isles, Archmage of the Mages' Guild, Master of the Fighters Guild, Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, Gray Fox of the Thieves Guild, Grand Champion of the Arena, The Hero of Kvatch, Savior of Bruma, Champion of Cyrodiil, and Divine Crusader. I wear the infinity plus one armor of Nigh-Invulnerability, my spells can bring doom to anything in my path, my sword will eat your soul, and I will summon a greater daedra to beat the shit out of you."
  • Skyrim:
    • If all DLC is installed, the Dragonborn can become Stormcrown; Ysmir, Dragon of the North, the Lastborn of Akatosh; slayer of Alduin; Harbinger of the Companions; Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold; Listener of the Dark Brotherhood; Guildmaster of the Thieves' Guild and Nightingale of Nocturnal; Thane of each of the nine holds in Skyrim; Hero of the Stormcloaks or Legate of the Imperial Legion; Agent of Mara; Agent of Dibella; "Qahnariin"^note ("Vanquisher" in the dragon language); Champion of various Daedric Princes; honorary member of House Telvanni; warrior of the Dawnguard or Lord/Lady of Clan Volkihar; Friend of the Skaal of Solstheim; Chief of the Rieklings of Thirsk Hall; and Member of the Bards' College.
    • Player aside, there's also Saint Jiub the Eradicator: Hero of Morrowind and Savior of the Dunmer, who may be encountered during the Dawnguard questline and who doesn't appreciate the suggestion that a shorter title might make his book catchier.
• The Player Character in Final Fantasy XIV can amass lots and lots of titles that can be selected to be displayed by the player. Only one at a time, though. Of the ones officially recognized or mentioned in the game's Main Story Quests, they're eventually known as The Warrior of Light, Blessed by Hydaelyn, Slayer of Primals/Eikons, Bane of the Imperial Legions, Eorzea's Champion (Or Stealer of Pants if some of the more puzzling rumors involving their assistance of a particular Gentleman Inspector are to be believed.)

• In Hollow Knight, you can fight Grey Prince Zote, the idealized dream version of Zote the Mighty imagined by Bretta, and each time you defeat him, he will become stronger, and his list of titles will grow. Defeat him 10 times, and his full title will be Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote.
• Boss Subtitles of the final boss from Kamui: The Orbital Mechanized Temple, The Ultimate Application of Brain Fusion Theory, The Instrument of Planetary Destruction, XAFFIQUEL.
• In Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, if you do all the sidequests, the Fateless One will end up with a lot of titles. If you go by the fae tradition, every single quest chain could probably be a new one—but there are still more than a few explicit ones as well. Example: King Wencyn of the Court of Enchantments, Archsage of the Scholia Arcana, Truesworn of the Warsworn, Champion of the House of Valor, Master of Gravehal Keep, Scion of Akara, Beckoned of Ethene, Herald of the Gods, Hero of Mel Senshir...

• League of Legends has Kled the Cantankerous Cavalier, who dubs himself in-universe as High Major Commodore of the First Legion, Third Multiplication, Double Admiral Artillery Vanguard Company, based off "inheriting" the titles of soldiers he killed in battle.
• On Noveria in Mass Effect, you find an irritating (even for a salarian) administrator named Rannadril Ghan Swa Fulsoom Karaten Narr Eadi Bel Anoleis. He apparently sees himself as the big shot in the port city where you land, but later you have the option of busting him for corruption. A salarian's full name consists (in order) of homeworld, nation, city, district, clan name, and given name. However, they usually shorten them when dealing with other races.
• In the Overlord series, the player's Evil Overlord will gain an increasing number of titles that reference specific accomplishments in the games, often varying depending on the choices they made. You only ever hear them from Quaver, though.
• In Project × Zone 2: Brave New World, people are impressed at Aty's resume where she's a former soldier in the army, a teacher, and a summoner.
• Parodied in Ratchet & Clank (2002) by Chairman Drek, who incrementally adds to his title at various points throughout the game for no other reason than satisfying his own ego. In the end, he is titled Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Drek.
• An actual plot point in a quest in RuneScape where the full title of a pharaoh queen you must restore is so long, the modern copy is inaccurate and you must obtain the original.
  Senliten, upon whom Tumeken shines and from whom his glory is reflected. Bearer of the vengeance of Amascut upon the unworthy, mistress of the Stern Judges. Queen of the desert lands and rightful heir to the glory and fertility of Elidinis. Daughter of the divinity through the royal blood of the deity. Reborn through Icthlarin into this realm as has been and will be.
  • And just for fun, while like most other games only a single title can be displayed at a time, only including highest-tier titles from quest storylines, the player can be known as: Vyrelord, Artful Dodger, Archmage, Tzhaar, the Annihilator, the Gallant, the Valiant, the Pious, the Prepared, the Champion, the Swindler, of the Myreque, of Vampyrium, the Enforcer, the Ultimate Quester, the World Guardian

• This is also why Star Wars: The Old Republic only allows you to display one title and one legacy title. Otherwise, (even suppressing legacy titles and faction-specific titles), a player could be Big Time Drouk Hunter Warstalker Unlucky Lucky Minesweeper Dread Slayer Pilot Dragonslayer Elite Warlord <name> Rakghoul's Bane, Red Rhombus, the Throne Breaker, the Infernal, the Unyielding, the Resurgent, the Furious, the Eternal Warrior, from Beyond.
• Tales of Graces: In one of the messed-up "We are..." victory skits, Hubert, Malik, and Richard each declare their full names and titles at the same time, ticking off Asbel.
  Hubert: Hubert Oswell, Lieutenant of the Republic of Strahta, Intelligence Division Three!
  Malik: Malik Caesar, special officer of the Chancellor of the Fendel Empire and distinguished instructor!
  Richard: Richard of Windor, Monarch of Windor Kingdom and the eldest heir of King Ferdinand!
  • Tales of the Abyss also includes one, courtesy of Anise:
  Anise: Ionian Sergeant Anise Tatlin Oracle Knights Fon Master Guard wins!!
  Guy: That's WAY too long!
• Total War: Pharaoh: Parodied. Merneptah's scribe and fan-bearer are briefly shown rolling their eyes when Merneptah lists off Ramesses II's full litany of titles.
• Tyrian: Before the final level, recurrent annoying pest Captain Nob declares himself Supreme Intergalactic Ruler of Everything Nob, Commander of Microsol Super Fleet Alpha, Leader of Everyone, Master of All, Well-Liked by Animals.
• World of Warcraft: This is why the game doesn't let you display more than one of the titles you've earned at a time. Otherwise (even suppressing lesser included titles), a player could be Associate Professor Brewmaster Ambassador <name> Jenkins the Patient, the Explorer, Guardian of Cenarius, the Astral Walker, of the Ashen Verdict, Bane of the Fallen King, the Light of Dawn, Defender of a Shattered World, Destroyer's End.

Visual Novels

• In Umineko: When They Cry, while most witches have a single name and a simple title (Beatrice the Endless Witch, Bernkastel the Witch of Miracles, etc.), we are eventually introduced to Featherine Augustus Aurora, Majestic Witch of Theatregoing, Drama and Spectating, who is unsurprisingly one the most ancient and powerful witches. Bernkastel and Lambdadelta just call her "Auau," though.

Web Animation

• If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: The Emperor's Custodians earn middle names each time they do magnificent deeds. Captain-General "Kitten" has a ridiculously long list of middle names that he earned from having to do all of his unit's actual work for the last 10,000 years. It's implied to have gone on for several minutes before the audience was let in on the gag, and he only got halfway to his last name.

Webcomics

• Awful Hospital has Doctor H.M. Phage, T.E, chief physician, radiologist, surgeon, pathologist, pathogen, immunologist, urologist, gynaecologist, reverse gynaecologist, taxidermist, dentist, forensic entomologist, necrobiological reconstructionist, herbalist, fashionist and twin-core husk intersector licensed in all chromatic, material and hypothetical perception zones.

• Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Dan's introduction
  Mab: Friend of the beer-wenches?
  Dan: Hey now! I earned that title just like the rest!
• In the comic Dollys Playtime, the newest Villain introduces himself as "I am the Master of the Realm of Nightmare, Lord of all that strikes terror in the heart of mortals, and weaver of all your deepest fears. Most simply know me as Vereor." Dolly's response? The trope name.
• The Vel'Sharen family of Drowtales has quite a list of official titles for themselves. Imperial Family of Chel'el'sussoloth, Descendants of the Val'Sharess, Voice of the Goddess, Savior of the Nine Nations, Leaders of the Lath and Ssu People, Keepers of Dragons, Defenders of Felde, Sha'shi, Dariya'ko and all the Deep Territories.
• In Flaky Pastry it seems that when an entire long-lived species consists of aristocrats, even relative outcasts like Zintiel accumulate a list of titles that takes 15 minutes to recite.
  Zintiel: "Really? You're an actual princess? I'm from a noble family too, but my title is only Viscountess of Mithlorn, Baronette of Sylkind Forest, Substitute Duchess of Alspe, Sealholder of 17th Gate, 3rd Diva of the Guild of Song, Fallguard of the Hidden Valley..."

Real Life — Royalty and nobility

Pre-Middle Ages

• One of the ur-examples is probably Naram-sin son of Sargon the Great: King of Sumer and Akkad, Lord of the Four Corners of the Universe, God of Akkad.
• Part of the Standard Inscription of Ashurnasipal II, an Assyrian king (meaning that it shows up on every monument bearing his name):
  Palace of Ashurnasirpal, priest of Ashur, favorite of Enlil and Ninurta, beloved of Anu and Dagan, the weapon of the great gods, the mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria; son of Tukulti-Ninurta, the great king, the mighty king, king of Assyria, the son of Adad-nirari, the great king, the mighty king of Assyria; the valiant man, who acts with the support of Ashur, his lord, and has no equal among the princes of the four quarters of the world; the wonderful shepherd who is not afraid of battle; the great flood which none can oppose; the king who makes those who are not subject to him submissive; who has subjugated all mankind; the mighty warrior who treads on the neck of his enemies, tramples down all foes, and shatters the forces of the proud; the king who acts with the support of the great gods, and whose hand has conquered all lands, who has subjugated all the mountains and received their tribute, taking hostages and establishing his power over all countries.
  I am Ashurnasirpal, the celebrated prince, who reveres the great gods, the fierce dragon, conqueror of the cities and mountains to their furthest extent, king of rulers who has tamed the stiff-necked peoples, who is crowned with splendor, who is not afraid of battle, the merciless champion who shakes resistance, the glorious king, the shepherd, the protection of the whole world, the king, the word of whose mouth destroys mountains and seas, who by his lordly attack has forced fierce and merciless kings from the rising to the setting sun to acknowledge one rule.
• The Roman Emperors had long lists of titles, but for the distinctly practical reason that when Augustus took over, he didn't technically abolish the Republic, as this would have undermined the legitimacy of the regime. Instead, he took every important office there was short of Consul (and, every few years, took Consul too for good measure), most particularly taking the titles princeps senatus (effectively Speaker of the Senate, with the right to set the agenda and to speak first) and pontifex maximus (chief priest), and also taking the powers (but not title) of a tribune (a magistracy with powers both to propose laws and to veto legislation, and which also made it a capital offense to so much as touch the holder without consent).
  • Ancient Romans tended toward this. Firstly, family was very important, so your full name would include your family surname, your father, and your grandfather. They were also given a generic, relatively unimportant forename at birth simply to differentiate them from their siblings until they got their other name, a cognomen that was essentially a nickname (it later became hereditary, and identified branches of a family). This is all before titles even get involved. For example, Julius Caesar was deified as "Gaius Iulius Gaii filius Gaii nepos Caesar Imperator" (Gaius Julius, Gaius' son, Gaius' grandson, Caesar the Emperor).
• Alexander the Great sported a concise but still rather bombastic list of titles. Alexander the Great, Basileus of Macedon, Hegemon of the Hellenic League, Shahanshah of Persia, Pharaoh of Egypt, Lord of Asia.

Middle Ages and Modern times

• His Imperial Majesty The Sultan Süleyman I, the Sovereign of the Imperial House of Osman, Sultan of Sultans, Khan of Khans, Commander of the Faithful and Successor of the Prophet of the Lord of the Universe, Protector of the Holy Cities of Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem,Emperor of The Three Cities of Constantinople, Adrianople and Bursa, and of the Cities of Damascus and Cairo, of all Azerbaijan, of the Magris, of Barka, of Kairuan, of Aleppo, of Arabic Iraq and of Ajim, of Basra, of El Hasa, of Dilen, of Raka, of Mosul, of Parthia, of Diyar-i bekr, of Kurdistan, of Cilicia, of the Vilayets of Erzurum, of Sivas, of Adana, of Karaman, of Van, of Barbary, of Abyssinia, of Tunisia, of Tripoli, of Damascus, of Cyprus, of Rhodes, of Candia, of the Vilayet of the Morea, of the Marmara Sea, of the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and also its coasts, of Anatolia, of Rumelia, Baghdad, Greece, Turkistan, Tartary, Circassia, of the two regions of Kabarda, of Georgia, of the plain of Kypshak, of the whole country of the Tartars, of Kefa and of all the neighbouring countries, of Bosnia and its dependencies, of the City and Fort of Belgrade, of the Vilayet (District) of Serbia, with all the castles, forts and cities, of all Albania, of all Iflak and Bogdania, as well as all the dependencies and borders, and many other countries and cities would like all to know that he will soon shorten his title. He didn't like Kefa anyway.
  • In all seriousness, an actual example of a formal salutation (at least in part) is as follows:
  "...Slave of God, powerful with the power of God, deputy of God on earth, obeying the commands of the Qur'an and enforcing them throughout the world, master of all lands, the shadow of God over all nations, Sultan of Sultans in all the lands of Persians and Arabs, the propagator of Sultanic laws (Nashiru kawanin al-Sultaniyye), the tenth Sultan of the Ottoman Khans, Sultan, son of Sultan, Suleyman Khan... Slave of God, master of the world, I am Suleyman and my name is read in all the prayers in all the cities of Islam."
• Having a long or "Grand Title" was somewhat common for leaders in the German states until the early 19th century. For example, some members of the Holy Roman Empires last Electoral College were:
  • Frederick I of Württemberg went by the titles: By the grace of God, King of Württemberg; Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire; Sovereign Duke in Swabia, of Teck; Duke of Hohenlohe; Landgrave of Tübingen, Nellenburg; Prince of Mergentheim, Ellwangen, Zweifalten, Aulendorf, Buchau, Waldburg, Baldern, Ochsenhausen, Neresheim; Count of Montbéliard, Gröningen, Limpurg, Gaildorf, Sontheim, Schmiedelfeld, the Upper Sontheim, Montfort, Tettnang, Hohenberg, Biberach, Schelklingen, Eglofs, Heggbach; Overlord of the Lordships of Aulendorf, Scheer-Friedberg, Roth, Baindt, Isny; Lord of Altdorf, Leutkirch, Heidenheim, Justingen, Krailsheim, the Danubian cities, of Ulm, Rothweil, Heilbronn, Hall, Adelmannsfelden, Wiblingen, Wiesensteig;

  • Frederick William III of Prussia was one of the most powerful members and had a large list of titles: By the grace of god, King of Prussia; Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire; Margrave of Brandenburg; Sovereign & Supreme Duke of Silesia & of the County of Klodzko; Grand Duke of the Lower Rhine, Poznan; Sovereign Prince of Orange, Neuchâtel, Valangin;Duke in Gelderland, of Saxony, Angaria, Wesphalia, in Gelderland, of Magdeburg, Kleve, Jülich, Berg, Szczecin, Pomerania, the Kashubians, the Wends, of Mecklenburg, Krosno; Burgrave of Nuremberg above & below the Mountains; Landgrave of Thuringia; Margrave of the Upper & Lower Lusatia; Prince of Rügen, Hildesheim, Paderborn, Halberstadt, Münster, Minden, Kamien, the Wends, Schwerin, Ratzeburg, East Frisia, Mörs, Eichsfeld, Erfurt, Essen, Quedlinburg, Elten; Count of Hohenzollern; Princely Count of Henneberg; Count of Ruppin, the Mark, Ravensberg, Hohenstein, Tecklenburg, Schwerin, Lingen; Lord of the Lands of Rostock, Ravenstein, Stargard, Werden, Limpurg, Lauenburg, Bytow, Arlay, Breda.
  • Charles Frederick of Baden ruled for over 70 years and held the titles: Grand Duke of Baden; Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire; Margrave of Hochberg; Duke of Zähringen; Count-Palatine of the Rhine; Landgrave of Breisgau, Sausenberg, Ortenau, Nellenburg; Prince of Bruchsal, Ettenheim, Konstantz, Heitersheim; Count of Sponheim, Eberstein, Odenheim, Gengenbach, Salem, Petershausen; Overlord & Hereditary Lord of Fürstenberg, Baar, Stühlingen, Heiligenberg, Hausen, Möskirch, Hohenhöwen, Wildenstein, Waldsberg, Leiningen, Mosbach, Miltenberg, Amorbach, Dürn, Bischofsheim, Hartheim, Lauda, Klettgau, Thengen, Krautheim, Wertheim, Neidenau, Billigheim, Hagnau; Lord of Rötteln, Badenweiler, Hohengeroldseck, Lahr, Mahlberg, Lichtenau, Reichenau, Öhningen, Kehl;
  • In 1697 the Elector of Saxony Frederick Augustus was elected leader of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He merged the two styles (which are borderline this trope on their own) together and became known as: King of Poland; Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire; Grand Duke of Lithuania, Russia, Prussia, Mazovia, Samogitia, Kiev, Wolyn, Podolia, Podlachia, Livonia, Smolensk, Severia, Chernigov; Duke of Saxony, Jülich, Kleve, Berg, Angaria, Westphalia;Langrave of Thuringia; Margrave of Misnia, the Upper & Lower Lusatia Burgrave of Magdeburg; Princely Count of Henneberg; Count of the Mark, Ravensberg, Barby, Hanau; Lord of Ravenstein.
• Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire had pretty long list of titles: Charles, by the grace of God, Emperor of the Romans, forever August, King of Germany, King of Italy, King of all Spains, of Castile, Aragon, León, of Hungary, of Dalmatia, of Croatia, Navarra, Grenada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Majorca, Sevilla, Cordova, Murcia, Jaén, Algarves, Algeciras, Gibraltar, the Canary Islands, King of both Hither and Ultra Sicily, of Sardinia, Corsica, King of Jerusalem, King of the Indies, of the Islands and Mainland of the 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, Drenthe, Zutphen, Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, Burgau, Oristano and Gociano, Lord of Frisia, the Wendish March, Pordenone, Biscay, Molin, Salins, Tripoli and Mechelen.
  • The scary thing is he was being modest. Those were just the sovereign states he ruled and, several of them had other titles attached which he could have easily used. For instance, being king of Castile also meant he was king of New Spain, Peru, Chili, and Manila. In the Netherlands, along with his regional titles, he used Emperor of Germany, Dominator in Asia and Africa, lord of the cities, towns & lands of Utrecht, Overyssel and Groningen. After Charles abdicated the throne his various dominions were split between his brother and his son.
• Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I (brother of the above mentioned Charles V) had a pretty impressive list himself: Ferdinand, by the grace of God elected Holy Roman Emperor, forever August, King in Germany, of Hungary, Bohemia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Rama, Serbia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Cumania and Bulgaria, etc. Prince-Infante in Spain, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Brabant, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Margrave of Moravia, Duke of Luxemburg, the Upper and Lower Silesia, Württemberg and Teck, Prince of Swabia, Princely Count of Habsburg, Tyrol, Ferrette, Kyburg, Gorizia, Landgrave of Alsace, Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, Enns, Burgau, the Upper and Lower Lusatia, Lord of the Wendish March, Pordenone and Salins, etc., etc.
• When Philip II (son of the aforementioned Charles V) took the throne of Spain his full title was: By the Grace of God Most Catholic King of all Spains, King of Castile, Aragon, Leon, England, France, Ireland, both Sicilies, Jerusalem, , Hungary, Dalmatia, Croatia, Navarra, Granada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Majorca, Sevilla, Sardinia, Cordova, Corsica, Murcia, Jaen, the Algarves, Algeciras, Gibraltar, the Islands of Canary, the Western and Eastern Indies, the Island and Mainland of the Ocean sea, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Lotharingia, Brabant, Limburg, Luxembourg, Gelderland, Milan, Athens, Neopatria, Count of Habsburg, Barcelona, Flanders, Tyrol, Artois, Burgundy Palatine, Hainaut, Holland, Zeeland, Namur, Zutphen, Roussillon, Cerdagne, Prince of Swabia, Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, Oristano, Goceano, Lord of Biscay, Molina, Frisia, Salins, Mechelen, the cities, towns & lands of Utrecht, Overyssel, Groningen, Dominator in Asia, Africa, Defender of the Faith.
  • After his wife Mary I died, he dropped King of England, France, and Ireland from his title, as those lands were now under the dominion of her sister Elizabeth I. However, after he inherited Portugal he received several new ones: King of Portugal, the Algarves, of either side of the sea in Africa, Lord of Guinea and of Conquest, Navigation, and Commerce of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, and India, etc.

• The last Holy Roman Emperor and first Austrian, Emperor Francis II (and I), holds many distinctions. This includes being the only dual emperor ^note (which were prefaced as being elected and hereditary to distinguish them) and the grandfather of four Emperors ^note (Napoleon II of France, Pedro II of Brazil, Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary, and Maximilian I of Mexico). During his long rein his style included the following titles: His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty, By the grace of God elected Roman Emperor, always August, hereditary Emperor of Austria; King in Germany, of Jerusalem, Hungary, Bohemia, Lombardy, Venetia, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Galicia, Lodomeria, and Illyria; Archduke of Austria; Duke of Burgundy, Lorraine, Venetia, Salzburg, Würzburg, Franconia, Styria, Carinthia and Carniola; Grand Duke of Tuscany and Cracow; Grand Prince of Transylvania; Margrave of Moravia; Duke of Brabant, Limburg, Luxembourg, Gelderland, Württemberg, the Upper & Lower Silesia, Milan, Mantua, Modena, Parma, Piacenza, Guastalla, Oswiecin, Zator, Calabria, Bar, Montferrat, Cieszyn; Sandomir, Masovia, Lublin, Auschwitz, Teschen, Friule, Ragusa and Zara; Prince of Swabia, Charleville, Eichstädt, Passau, Trent, Brixen, Lindau, Berchtesgaden and Mergentheim; Princely Count of Habsburg, Flanders, Tyrol, Hainaut, Kyburg, Gorizia and Gradisca and of the Tirol; Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, of Burgau, the Upper and Lower Lusatia, Pont-à-Mousson, Nomeny and in Istria; Landgrave in Breisgau, in the Ortenau, Nellenburg; Count of Namur, Provence, Vaudémont, Blâmont, Zutphen, Saarwerden, Salm, and Falkenstein, Montfort, Hohenems, the Upper & Lower Hohenberg, Bregenz, Feldkirch, Sonnenberg, Rothenfels, Blumeneck, Hofen; Lord of the Lands of Volhynia, Podlachia, Brzesz, Triest, Kotor, Freudenthal, Eulenberg, Wendish March, Mechelen Verona, Vicenza, Padua; President of the German Confederation.
• Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, Marquess of Wellington, Marquis of Douro, Earl of Wellington in Somerset, Viscount Wellington of Talavera, Baron Douro of Wellesley; Prince of Waterloo; Duque de Ciudad Rodrigo, Duc de Brunoy; Duque of Vittoria, Marquis of Torres Vedras, Count of Vimiero; Grandee of the First Class of Spain; Privy Councillor of the United Kingdom; Commander-in-Chief of the British Army; Colonel of the Grenadier Guards (and seven or eight other regiments); Field-Marshal of Great Britain, a Marshal of Russia, a Marshal of Austria, a Marshal of France, a Marshal of Prussia, a Marshal of Spain, a Marshal of Portugal, a Marshal of the Netherlands; Knight of the Garter, Knight of the Holy Ghost, Knight of the Golden Fleece, Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Knight Grand Cross of Hanover, Knight of the Black Eagle, Knight of the Sword of Sweden, Knight of St. Andrew of Russia, Knight of the Annuncio of Sardinia, Knight of the Elephant of Denmark, Knight of Maria Theresa, Knight of St. George of Russia, Knight of the Crown of Rue of Saxony, Knight of Fidelity of Baden, Knight of Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria, Knight of Alexander Nevsky of Russia, Knight of St. Hermenegilda of Spain, Knight of the Red Eagle of Brandenburg, Knight of St. Januarius, Knight of the Golden Lion of Hesse-Cassel; Lord High Constable of England, Constable of the Tower of London, Constable of Dover Castle, Warden of the Cinque Ports, Chancellor of the Cinque Ports, Admiral of the Cinque Ports, Privy Councillor, Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire Lord-Lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets, Ranger of St. James's Park, Ranger of Hyde Park, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Fellow of the Royal Society. Former ambassador, governor of Ireland, military governor of France, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
  • In 1850, Lord John Russell,^note He had yet to be elevated to the Peerage then Prime Minister of the UK, wanted Wellington's advice, but felt that he had not sufficient standing to approach the man directly. He asked Queen Victoria to speak to the Duke for him.
• The Most Noble Lord Horatio Nelson, Viscount and Baron Nelson, of the Nile and of Burnham Thorpe in the County of Norfolk, Baron Nelson of the Nile and of Hilborough in the said County, Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Vice Admiral of the White Squadron of the Fleet, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Mediterranean, Duke of Bronté in the Kingdom of Sicily, Knight Grand Cross of the Sicilian Order of St Ferdinand and of Merit, Member of the Ottoman Order of the Crescent, Knight Grand Commander of the Order of St Joachim.
  • It's likely that Nelson's list of titles would have continued to grow much like the Duke of Wellington's, his contemporary and a comparably famous officer, but Nelson was killed at the scene of his most famous victory while the Duke went on to have a lengthy military and political career after the war that made him famous.
• Compared to those, the titles of Napoleon I were rather brief: His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Napoléon, by the Grace of God and the Constitutions of the Republic Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, Mediator of the Helvetic Confederation. Considering that he practically ruled the entirety of Europe (and, thus, considering the time period, the world) except for Britain at the height of his reign, this is very modest.
  • Well, he organized his conquests as France was reorganized during the Revolution: with départements and no care for whatever feudal entities there might be. Plus he didn't go by some old dynastic heritage to claim, so he could keep it simple. It should be well noted that most of the above royals use completely fictitious, old dubious claims or overblown titles for the sake of making it longer. The King of Jerusalem bit is famous for it. For example, the kings and queens of England had King of France in the bunch until the 19th century, and they still use Duke of Normandy, even if the Duchy of Normandy is made of three islands. (Again, in total fairness, the Channel Islands are not part of the United Kingdom, and finding another title to fit would probably end up more ridiculous.)
• The first Kaiser William the Great unified Germany and created the German Empire. As you might expect he went by several titles: His Imperial and Royal Majesty William the First, by the Grace of God, German Emperor and King of Prussia; Margrave of Brandenburg; Sovereign & Supreme Duke of Silesia & of the County of Klodzko; Grand Duke of the Lower Rhine, Poznan; Duke of Saxony, Angaria, Wesphalia, in Gelderland, of Magdeburg, Bremen, Kleve, Jülich, Berg, Szczecin, Pomerania, Lüneburg, Holstein & Schleswig, the Kashubians, the Wends, Lauenburg, of Mecklenburg, Krosno; Burgrave of Nuremberg; Landgrave of Hesse, Thuringia; Margrave of the Upper & Lower Lusatia; Prince of Orange, Neuchâtel, Valangin; Prince of Rügen, East Frisia, Paderborn, Halberstadt, Münster, Minden, Osnabrück, Hildesheim, Verden, Kamien, Fulda, Nassau, the Wenden, Schwerin, Ratzeburg, Mörs, Eichsfeld, Erfurt; Count of Hohenzollern; Princely Count of Henneberg; Count of Ruppin, the Mark, Ravensberg, Hohenstein, Tecklenburg, Schwerin, Lingen, Sigmaringen,Veringen, Pyrmont; Lord of Frankfort, the Lands of Rostock, Stargard, Lauenburg, Bytow, Haigerloch, Werstein; President of the North German Confederation.
• Nicholas the Second, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, of Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod, Tsar of Kazan, Tsar of Astrakhan, King of Poland, Tsar of Siberia, Tsar of Tauric Chersonesos, Tsar of Georgia, Lord of Pskov, and Grand Duke of Smolensk, Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and Finland, Prince of Estonia, Livonia, Courland and Semigalia, Samogitia, Belostok, Karelia, Tver, Yugra, Perm, Vyatka, Bulgaria and other territories; Lord and Grand Duke of Nizhni Novgorod, Sovereign of Chernigov, Ryazan, Polotsk, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Beloozero, Udoria, Obdoria, Kondia, Vitebsk, Mstislavl, and all northern territories; Sovereign of Iveria, Kartalinia, and the Kabardinian lands and Armenian territories - hereditary Lord and Ruler of the Circassians and Mountain Princes and others; Lord of Turkestan, Heir of Norway, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, Oldenburg, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth.
• The full list of titles of the King of Italy a large number of titles. Due to the length (they held the world record) they never said it out loud in full (they cut off after the first few and add an et al.), but it was long enough that Umberto II, the one with the shortest list after dropping three of his father's titles, was technically His Majesty Umberto II, by grace of God and by will of the Nation, King of Italy, King of Sardinia, King of Cyprus, of Jerusalem and of Armenia, duke of Savoy, prince of Carignano, prince of Piedmont, prince of Oneglia, prince of Poirino, prince of Turin, prince and perpetual vicar of the Holy Roman Empire, prince of Carmagnola, prince of Montmélian with Arbin and Francin, prince bailiff of the duchy of Aosta, prince of Chieri, prince of Dronero, prince of Crescentino, prince of Riva di Chieri and Banna, prince of Busca, prince of Bene, prince of Bra, duke of Genoa, duke of Montferrat, duke of Aosta, duke of the Chablais, duke of the Genevois, duke of Brescia, duke of Piacenza, duke of Carignano Ivoy, marquiss of Ivrea, marquiss of Saluzzo, marquiss of Susa, marquiss of Ceva, marquiss of the Maro, marquiss of Oristano, marquiss of Cesana, marquiss of Savona, marquiss of Tarantasia, marquiss of Borgomanero and Cureggio, marquiss of Caselle, marquiss of Rivoli, marquiss of Pianezza, marquiss of Govone, marquiss of Salussola, marquiss of Racconigi, with Tegerone, Migliabruna and Motturone, marquiss of Cavallermaggiore, marquiss of Marene, marquiss of Modane and of Lanslebourg, marquiss of Livorno Ferraris, marquiss of Santhià, marquiss of Agliè, marquiss of Barge, marquiss of Centallo and Demonte, marquiss of Desana, marquiss of Ghemme, marquiss of Vigone, marquiss of Villafranca, count of Moriana, count of Geneva, count of Nice, count of Tenda, count of Romont, count of Asti, count of Alessandria, count of the Goceano, count of Novara, count of Tortona, count of Bobbio, count of Soissons, count of the French Empire, count of Sant'Antioco, count of Pollenzo, count of Roccabruna, count of Tricerro, count of Bairo, count of Ozegna, count of the Apertole, baron of Vaud and the Faucigny, high lord of Monaco and of Mentone, lord of Vercelli, lord of Pinerolo, lord of the Lomellina and Valle Sesia, noble man patrician Venetian, patrician of Ferrara
• Are you forgetting we Brits? We have - and we apologise for this folks, we really do (or did, when she took the throne) - Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British Dominions beyond the Seas Queen, Defender of the Faith, Duchess of Edinburgh, Countess of Merioneth, Baroness Greenwich, Duke of Lancaster, Lord of Mann, Duke of Normandy, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Garter, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Sovereign of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Sovereign of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, Sovereign of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Sovereign of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Sovereign of the Distinguished Service Order, Sovereign of the Imperial Service Order, Sovereign of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, Sovereign of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, Sovereign of the Order of British India, Sovereign of the Indian Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of Burma, Sovereign of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, Sovereign of the Royal Family Order of King Edward VII, Sovereign of the Order of Mercy, Sovereign of the Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of the Companions of Honour, Sovereign of the Royal Victorian Order, Sovereign of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. She prefers "Lilibet" (don't go around calling her that, though).
  • There's another one not included in that list, which isn't a very fancy title but is in some ways more impressive than the rest: Junior Commander in the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service.
  • The above were her styles and titles upon becoming Queen in 1952. As The Commonwealth of Nations had started to develop significantly—and a war had been fought about the "Ireland" bit—this was changed upon her coronation in 1953 to 'Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas' has been replaced by 'the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Her other Realms and Territories' (the last bit standing in for a varying list consisting as of 2022 of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Christopher and Nevis)^note In November of 2021, Barbados abolished the monarchy and became a republic. She was also Paramount Chief of Fiji, though no longer the head of state there at the time of her death.
    • Since the Queen was the head of state of all 14 Commonwealth Realms simultaneously, she actually had, at the time of her death, 14 separate monarchial titles, one for each country, along with the long lists of titles that come with each of those royal titles.
  • Her complete list of titles is so long that, according to rumor, if she was ever late for an engagement - which, kudos to her, after seventy years on the throne, she never was - the herald will just keep on reading them until she arrived.

Contemporary

• One would think that a recently established^note The place was legally a collection of republics until 1813, and the title of 'king' was only assumed two years later and small^note 16,478 sq mi / 42,508 sq km, including the colonies monarchy such as that of the Netherlands would have a reasonably modest title. One would be mistaken:
  By the Grace of God, King of the Netherlands, Prince of Oranje-Nassau, Jonkheer of Amsberg, Marquis of Veere and Flushing, Count of Katzenellnbogen, Vianden, Diez, Spiegelberg, Buren, Leerdam en Culemborg, Burgrave of Antwerp, Baron of Breda, Diest, Beilstein, the town of Grave and the Land of Cuyk, IJsselstein, Cranendonck, Eindhoven, Liesveld, Herstal, Waasten, Arlay en Nozeroy, Hereditary and Free Lord of Ameland, Lord of Borculo, Bredevoort, Lichtenvoorde, Het Loo, Geertruidenberg, Klundert, Zevenbergen, Hooge en Lage Zwaluwe, Naaldwijk, Polanen, Sint-Maartensdijk, Soest, Baarn, Ter Eem, Willemstad, Steenbergen, Montfort, St. Vith, Bütgenbach, Niervaart, Daasburg, Turnhout en Besançon
  • This also leads to a funny moment when they do refer to the king's formal title, they actually shorten the name using an etcetera, thrice:
  Dutch passport: In the name of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange-Nassau, etc., etc., etc. (...)
• Until 1972, Danish Kings and Queens would style themselves as being By the Grace of God, King of Denmark, King of the Wends, King of the Goths, Duke of Schleswig, Duke of Holstein, Duke of Stormarn, Duke of Ditmarsh, Duke of Lauenburg, and Duke of Oldenburg.
• Subverted by the current king of Sweden, whose full title is "King of Sweden".
  • It used to be longer, but it was streamlined in 1973 (technically 1971, but it didn't come into effect until the death of the old monarch in 1973) to remove the bits that were excessively archaic ('King of Gothia') or no longer applicable ('King of Wendia').
  • Lampshaded by King Fredrik I (1676-1751) who, upon being introduced with his full and rather long title, is reported to have turned to one of his advisors and remarked "Potz Donner, haben Wir das alles getan?" ("Bloody hell, did we do all that?")
• The pretender to the throne of Portugal is His Royal Highness the very August and Most Serene Prince Dom Duarte Pio João Miguel Gabriel Rafael de Bragança, by succession of his August Father, His Royal Highness the Prince Dom Duarte Nuno and his cousin, of Glorious Memory, the King the Lord Dom Manuel II, the Unfortunate, and by virtue of the present interregnum, Prince Royal of Portugal, 25th Duke of Braganza, 22nd Duke of Guimarães, 24th Marquis of Vila Viçosa, 29th Count of Ourém, 26th Count of Arraiolos, 26th Count of Neiva, 26th Count of Faria and 22nd Count of Guimarães. The third of his name as representative of the Kings of Portugal. Grand Master of the Order of the Immaculate Conception of Vila Viçosa and Grand Master of the Order of Saint Michael of the Wing.
• His Excellency the Right Honourable Sir John Buchan, Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield, Companion of the Order of Companions of Honour, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of the Militia and Naval and Air Forces of Canada.
• Dave Barry spoofed this at one point with a list of titles for the British prince (Prince of Wales, Knight of the Trouser, Top of the Morning, Vice President of Marketing, and much, much more...). Another was a proposed reform of the government where any person with more than three titles on his door would be given five minutes to clear his desk.
• You would think that given Luxembourg's small size, its Grand Duke^note Yes, Luxembourg does not have a King, but rather a Grand Duke, being the only country in the world to have one would not have a long titulature. When compared to the other examples, he has a modestly long list of titles. To wit, Henri Albert Gabriel Félix Marie Guillaume, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Duke of Nassau, Prince of Bourbon-Parma, Count Palatine of Sayn, Königstein, Katzenelnbogen and Diez, Burgrave of Hammerstein, Lord of Mahlberg, Wiesbaden, Idstein, Merenberg, Limburg and Eppstein, and Knight of Namur.
• Similar to his Habsburg forebear Charles V mentioned above, King Felipe VI of Spain has a long list of titles, many of which are traditional and nominal. Ladies and Gentlemen, His Majesty Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y de Grecia, King of Spain, King of Castile, of León, of Aragon, of the Two Sicilies (Naples and Sicily), of Jerusalem, of Navarre, of Granada, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Majorca, of Seville, of Sardinia, of Córdoba, of Corsica, of Murcia, of Menorca, of Jaén, of the Algarves, of Algeciras, of Gibraltar, of the Canary Islands, of the East Indies and the West Indies and of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, of Brabant, of Milan, of Athens, of Neopatras and of Limburg, Count of Habsburg, of Flanders, of Tyrol, of Roussillon and of Barcelona; Lord of Biscay and of Molina. He has even more traditional and nominal titles that are simply listed as "etc." normally, which are King of Hungary, King of Dalmatia, King of Croatia, Duke of Limburg, Duke of Lotharingia, Duke of Luxemburg, Duke of Gelderland, Duke of Styria, Duke of Carniola, Duke of Carinthia, Duke of Württemberg, Landgrave of Alsace, Prince of Swabia, Palatine Count of Burgundy, Count of Artois, Count of Hainaut, Count of Namur, Count of Gorizia, Count of Ferrette, Count of Haut-Rhin, Count of Kyburg, Marquis of Oristano, Marquis of Goceano, Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, Margrave of Burgau, Lord of Salins, Lord of Mechelen, Lord of the Slovenian March, Lord of Pordenone, and Lord of Tripoli, Rex Catholicissimus. Taking his military and chivalric order titles, he also has Captain General and Supreme Commander of the Royal Spanish Armed Forces, Sovereign Grand Master of the Celebrated Order of the Golden Fleece, Grand Master of the Royal and Distinguished Order of Charles III, Grand Master of the Royal Order of Isabel, the Catholic, Grand Master of the Royal and Military Order of Saint Ferdinand, Grand Master of the Royal and Military Order of Saint Hermenegild, Grand Master of the Order of Montesa, Grand Master of the Order of Alcántara, Grand Master of the Order of Calatrava, Grand Master of the Order of Santiago, and Grand Master of the Order of Queen Maria Luisa.
• Following the death of his mother, Elizabeth II, in 2022, Charles III has received a relatively shorter list of titles than she had at the start of her reign (owing largely due to the transformation of the British Empire into The Commonwealth of Nations during much of her 70 years on the throne). To wit, His Majesty, Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. As stated before, Charles III is also King of 14 Commonwealth realms^note Those being Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Christopher and Nevis
• The Guinness record of number of nobility titles, however, was held by Doña María del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y Silva, 18th Duchess of Alba de Tormes, who has "eight other ducal titles, 15 marquesal titles, 19 comital titles and is 20 times a Grandee of Spain." Full list here. She had partitioned her titles among her children, so upon her 2014 death, her eldest son Carlos merely held four dukedoms, one count-dukedom, sixteen marquessates, eighteen countcies, one viscountcy, and one manorial/lordship.

Real Life — Others

Statespersons (non-monarchs)

• Kim Jong Il had over a thousand official titles, including stuff like "Guardian Deity of Earth" and "Supreme Commander at the Forefront of the Struggle Against Imperialism and the United States".
• His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor, Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular, King of Scotland. And yes, that last title (immortalized by a film title) was self-granted. This would be funnier if the man didn't murder upwards of 100,000 of his own people.
  • In general, a lot of brutal dictators, not just Kim Jong Il and Idi Amin, tend to give themselves stupidly grandiose titles to try and give themselves some legitimacy.
• At the height of his power, Hermann Göring was President of the Reichstag, Minister President of the Free State of Prussia, Reichminister of Economics, Reichminister of Aviation, Reichminister of Forestry, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, and Reichsmarschall of the Greater German Reich. One of Germany's most well-known liquors is named after another title he held - (Reichs)Jägermeister. The law on hunting he proposed is still in force in modern Germany as of 2016. He had one last title at the end of his life: Defendant Number One at the Nuremberg Trials, as he was the highest-ranking Nazi official to be taken alive.
• Irish Ministers of State have very long titles — until 2011, Máire Hoctor was the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, the Department of Social and Family Affairs and the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government (with special responsibility for Services for Older People), while Conor Lenihan was Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, the Department of Education and Science and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform (with special responsibility for Integration Policy).

Academic

• Some people who have many degrees will suffer from this: e.g., John Doe, DDS, JD, MBA, MD, MPH or some combination of that.
• German academic titles don't supersede each other, but stack in descending order; though this is only done on formal occasions. 'Professor [name]' becomes 'Herr Professor Doktor Doktor Doktor Honoris Causa Multiplex [name]', for example. The more formal the occasion, the more titles listed.
• In Germany and Austria, it is very possible for ordinary citizens with a wide range of academic degrees to have them legally put into their passports, business cards, driver's licenses, and other official documents, and to insist on being addressed as such. With the educational and legal system in the EU changing all of that, it's going to become more uncommon in the far future, but before the Lisbon Treaty (and even up until now), one can still meet, for example a Prof. Mag (FH). Müller, B.A., M.A., PhD. The Austrian armed forces extends this by honoring both military rank and academic title. It's quite possible for a Lance Corporal (Gefreiter - abbreviated Gfr.) to have an academic title and to insist upon being called that (and referring to himself as that when making a report) at all times, even to and by his superiors who do not possess any academic rank.
• Mendeleev (the creator of the periodic table) was a member of over a hundred academies and other organizations. They say that he once saw an edited draft of his article signed with his full list of titles and degrees. He laughed and stated "You can't print it like that - it's longer than the Emperor's title". See above for that one...
• Stephen William Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA, D.Phil., Lucasian Professor Emeritus of Mathematics.

Miscellaneous

• The Pope. As of now: His Holiness Francis, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the State of Vatican City, Servant of the Servants of God. There used to be a "Patriarch of the West" after "Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church", but Benedict XVI omitted it beginning in 2006, and Francis followed his lead in 2013.
  • The Pope's full list of titles sounds even more formidable in Latin, it being the official language of Vatican City. In fact it would sound like an incantation for exorcism: Sua Sanctitas Franciscus, Episcopus Romanus, Vicarius Christi, Successor Principis Apostolorum, Summus Pontifex Ecclesiae Universalis, Patriarcha Occidentis, Primas Italiae, Archiepiscopus et Metropolitanus Provinciae Ecclesiasticae Romanae, Princeps Sui Iuris Civitatis Vaticanae, Servus Servorum Dei.
  • Note that among these titles, "Pope" is not one. That's a colloquialism from Italian "papa," for "father."
• The other Pope's ^note (currently Theodore II/Tawadros II/Ⲑⲉⲟ́ⲇⲱⲣⲟⲥ ⲃ̅(Theódōrōs II)/تواضروس الثاني(Tawāḍurūs al-ṯhānī)) short form title: Pope and Lord Archbishop of the Great City of Alexandria and Patriarch of All Africa on the Holy Orthodox and Apostolic Throne of Saint Mark the Evangelist and Holy Apostle that is, in Egypt, Pentapolis, Libya, Nubia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and all Africa qualifies. The long form? Well...
  Pope and Lord Archbishop of the Great and Holy Metropolitan Archdiocese of Alexandria (Rhakotis), being:

  The Metropolitan of the Holy, Great and Ancient Metropolitan Archdiocese of Alexandria (Rhakotis), comprising:

  The Great and Ancient Metropolis of Alexandria, which includes: The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Canopus (Aboukir), The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Menelaus, The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Schedia

  The Metropolitan of the Metropolitan Province of Greater Cairo comprising:

  The Holy Archdiocese of Cairo (Arcadia AEgypti), which includes: The Suffragan Holy Diocese of East of the Railroad District in Cairo, The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Meit Ghamr District in Cairo, The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Dar El Salam (Irinipolis) in Cairo, The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Heliopolis in Cairo, The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Old Cairo (Babylon), Manial and Fum El Kahlig in Cairo ,The Suffragan Holy Diocese of El Mataria, Ain Shams, Ezbet El Nakhl in the Holy Archdiocese of Cairo (Arcadia AEgypti)

  The Metropolitan of the Archdiocese of North America, which includes:

  The Suffragan Holy Diocese of Alexandria and all Virginia, United States
  Elder and Chief Metropolitan Archbishop of all the Egyptian Provinces
  Primate of all Egypt, Pentapolis, Libya, Nubia and the Sudan
  Patriarch of All Africa on the Holy Throne of St. Mark the Evangelist, the Holy Apostle and Martyr.
  In being so, he is considered to be:

  Father of Fathers.

  Shepherd of Shepherds.

  Hierarch of all Hierarchs
  Honorary titles attributed to the Hierarch of the Alexandrine Throne are:

  The Pillar and Defender of the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church and of the Orthodox Faith.

  The Dean of the Great Catechetical School of Theology of Alexandria.

  The Ecumenical (Universal) Judge (Arbitrator) of the Holy Apostolic and Catholic (Universal) Church.

  The Thirteenth among the Holy Apostles.
• The title of the Rival^note (in continuous schism since 535) Patriarch of Alexandria^note (current holder Theodore (Theodoros) II/Θεόδωρος Β΄, no relation) is rather more restrained but still qualifies: His Divine Beatitude the Pope and Patriarch of the Great City of Alexandria, Libya, Pentapolis, Ethiopia, All Egypt and All Africa, Father of Fathers, Pastor of Pastors, Prelate of Prelates, the Thirteenth of the Apostles and Judge of the Ecumene.
• The Song dynasty period in Imperial China had a civil service system that made every bureaucrat like this. It shares some similarities with the "rank and commissions" system in modern military— but they have separate administrative and pay ranks, and these ranks and commissions is on top of an nominal assignment titles. Which complicate matters was that all these assignment, rank and commission titles look like titles of office, and so needs to be listed together in official documents. Other honours—such as nobles titles (which are already In Name Only at this time) can also be tagged on it, making the full title extremely long. For example, historian Sima Guang signed his Zizhi Tongjian with a title of 47 characters of length, which translates into: Your Faithful Servant Sima Guang, Academician of the Duanming Palace concurrently with Hanlin Academician-in-Assistance-of-Reading, Greater Minister of the Center, in commission of the Songfu Monastery, Songshan, Western Capital, Piller of the Empire, First Class, Inaugural Earl of Henai County, with a tenure of 2,600 households of which 1,000 granted de facto, Wearer of the Purple Robe and the Golden Sachet^{notes on titles}The two academican titles werenominal assignment titles; academician titles are considered of very high honour. Administrative and pay ranks have been merged at this point; "Minister of the Center" is 12th rank from the top. "Commissioner of the Songfu Monastery, Western Capital" is his real commission, which at the time had no real duties. "Piller of the Empire, First Class" is the top honour title. By the time feudal titles are In Name Only in China and no tenures would be given to anybody that's not from the royal family, so such titles are merely honourary. "feudal aid" is given by paying 25 cashes per house granted de facto. Since only officials of Rank #10 or above were allowed to purple robes, being granted special permission to wear clothing beyond their rank is, hence, an honour. The irony was this he was Kicked Upstairs at this point since his commission is one without duties; he merely continued with his historiography with the salary associated with his rank and "feudal aid."
• Subverted by management in the US civil service: in general, the longer your job title is, the less important you are. "Secretary of the Treasury" is more important than "Secretarial Assistant to the Assistant Secretary to the Second Undersecretary of the Secretary of the Treasury"
  • One notable exception was the precursor to the "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff", Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy, who served as "Chief of Staff to the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" during World War II (the "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" being, of course, the President).
  • Defied above all by the highest job title in the civil service: President of the United States. No fancy flourish, no secondary titles or arrangements, no additional comment about him being Leader of the Free World, Commander-in-Chief, or any other titles or degrees even if he's got a doctorate. Just "Mr. President" will suffice.
  • There are, of course, those (typically Eagleland Flavor Two types) who use a less modest reasoning for the lack of titles: When you're the President of the United States, you don't need any additional titles beyond it.
• His Imperial Majesty Joshua Abraham Norton the First of these United States and Protector of Mexico, Saint Second Class of the Discordian Religion, Patron Saint of the Joshua Norton Cabal, Begotten Son of Eris. Pretty short relative to some actual monarchs, but nonetheless impressive for a man whose only qualification was being a Cloud Cuckoo Lander of the highest order. Even more impressive is the fact that his self-appointed title of Emperor was actually respected to some degree, at least in San Francisco.
  • Inspired by Norton, and being the ultimate authority of their religion, many Discordians invent and award titles to themselves and others. Any given Discordian could legitimately lay claim to a number of titles limited only by their imagination and patience.
• According to The Disaster Artist, Tommy Wiseau was the founder, president, CEO, treasurer, legal department, brand manager, administrative assistant (under the pseudonym of "John"), phone answerer, and mail opener of Wiseau Films.
• The Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert, D.F.A. The doctorate's honorary, but the knighthood isn't ^note though valid only in Jordan.
• Terry Pratchett has occasionally been announced as Professor Sir Dr Dr Dr Dr Dr Terrance David John Pratchett D. Lit, D. Lit, D. Lit, D. Lit, D. Lit, OBE, Blackboard Monitor. The last one is a Discworld joke, of course; but the five honourary doctorates, the professorship, and the knighthood are all genuine.
• Followers of the "Sovereign Citizen movement" (which tries to apply incoherent pseudo-legalize to make themselves their own Sovereign to avoid paying taxes or be prosecuted for crimes). They often refer to themselves in extremely long titles in their court filings, much to the amusement and/or annoyance of the presiding judge. Here is one example from *United States v. Alexio*.
  "Third Party Intervener Pre-1933 Private Citizen of the United States Agent American Freeman; American National Private Citizen of the State of Hawaii Special and Private Resident in Exclusive Equity Within a Non-Militarily-Occupied Estate County of Honolulu Grantor/Settlor/Beneficiary of Private Business Trust 'DENNIS RAYMOND ALEXIO'"
