i just finished watching the bbc's War and Peace and was a bit confused by the titles and the number of people that had titles. there seemed to be a lot of prince and princesses but they didn't really interact with, or even seem related to the Tsar. did prince and princess mean something different? i also noticed that the son's of nobility (for example the count) also were addressed as count even though his father was still alive. can someone do a quick rundown on Russian titles and how they may differ from how they are used in England. sorry if i'm totally off base here, am american.
