There was a pretty damn good post a few years back. It was a guest spot or link in either alanajoli or alg's journal. A woman who wrote historical romance and her frustration with how lazy people were in their education on nobility and social customs. An example she gave that has always stuck with me was the frequent error when a person introduces someone of higher rank to someone of lower rank. Introductions are always made to the person of the higher rank. "Your majesty, may I introduce to you Billy the scullion," etc.

The whole subject has a name that I unfortunately cannot remember and the woman had a link to a primer on the subject that I found invaluable. Anyone know the word for noble social strictures (which would greatly aid my Google searching) or remember the link I'm talking about?

Thanks.
