Both Marquess and Marquis are correct so I guess I merged them into Marquees XD

In Italian, which is my native language, it would be MARCHESE.

Fun fact, there is a whole Italian region called Marche: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marche

Further fun fact, still in Italy, the territory around the city of Treviso is called La Marca since medieval times (and still today): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_of_Treviso

<MARQUEE>, instead, is an ancient HTML abomination.

Yep, that's where the term 'Marquis' comes from. He's the one supposed to guard the 'marche' (stair in french) which in latin used to mean frontier.
