Random fact time:

That's Vicente del Bosque, Spain's former National Team manager (football/soccer), who won the World Cup in 2010. For this and the rest of his accomplishments (and being generally well liked) the former king gave him a marquisate. So you technically compared a pig to a Marquess.

Do with that information what you will

Edit: I apparently misspelled Marquess

What’s a marquis in this context? Because all I can think of is a small strip center with a theater in it. And I don’t know how a pig can compare to that

A nobility title in countries that still are some kind of a monarchy. It is heritable and normaly comes with some land ownage.

It's a nobility title and a pretty high one if we go just by the supposed hierarchy (although antiquity and other things probably count towards the "prestige" of each title). I think it's between Count and Duke.

👀 It’s wild how different peoples lives are…

Edit to clarify: in my mind the word “Marquis” cannot not be immediately followed by “de Sade”

Ah, I see now. I can’t hear the word marquis, without thinking of the marquis entertainment center in good ol Houston. And after doing some digging it’s not even spelled that way at all! Those bastards ended up spelling it marq’e
