Namely, I'm trying to figure out what smaller feudal segments to divide my nations into, who rules those segments, and what their relationship is to each other. I have a vague idea of how such a system should look (more important nobles owe allegiance directly to the King, lesser ones are mostly sworn to dukes or earls, etc.) but am rather fuzzy on the details, and haven't had much luck finding info on these specific issues. I'm looking for advice on this from someone(s) with more expertise than I, or even if someone could point me in the direction of a better resource than I've been able to search-fu up, that would be grand.Examples of what kind of info I seek: How many upper-echelon nobles are average/reasonable? What would their mix look like (ie, how many dukes, earls, counts, etc.)? What levels of "lesser noble" are likely to be sworn to which levels of "higher nobles"? How many such allegiances are those "higher nobles" likely to have? What "lower" nobles would be sworn directly to the King and under what circumstances?Any info on the subject will likely be useful, but that should give you an idea of the kinds of questions I'm having.PS: first post, figured I'd make it a substantial one <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
