“Porthos”? I don’t think his ancestry or title were revealed, but he was one of Dumas’ Three Muskateers, if that’s whom you had in mind.

In the sequel to Les Trois mousquetaires, Vingt ans après, Porthos is a baron.

Duncan – King of Scotland (King of Scots?) in MacBeth (the one MacBeth murders to gain the throne)

Both Duncan and Macbeth were real kings of Scotland, though Shakespeare’s play is inaccurate historically. The OP specified “fictional” royals/aristocrats.

I did mean ‘Duncan’ from Macbeth, but if the OP says it’s not kosher I’ll withdraw it. No harm done.

It’s kosher, I think. The Scottish kings in Macbeth - hell, the kings, queens, dukes and duchesses, and misc. aristocrats appearing in virtually any Shakespeare play - are clearly fictional, even if their names happen to match those of actual people.

Nope.

Vlad Toltos is from a series by Steven Brust. Not sure of the series name, but I remember reading *The Book of Jhereg * and others from the series.

Ah, but what’s his title ? No cookie without the title.

Geez, its been 10 or 15 years since I read him last. But I think it is baronet. I don’t remember, I do recall he was sometimes referred to as Lord Taltos, but that doesn’t clear it up for me.
