Here are some English offices of government and noble titles from the medieval era... I'll have to go research Spanish titles later and post those (assuming that History Guy, among others, doesn't already know or can post it first ):
OFFICES (handed out by the King):
Chancellor of England = Chief Advisor to King and Leader of Parliament
Marshall of England = Ground forces SMC, commander of crown forces (as opposed to the majority of military forces, those loyal to individual nobles)
Admiral of England = Naval SMC, commander of crown naval forces (as opposed to the naval forces loyal to individual nobles)
Treasurer of England = the treasurer
Steward of the Royal Household = essentially protector of the crown and various royal palaces
Constable of the Tower of London = governor and protector of the capital city of London
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster = regional administrator (of Lancaster)
Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall = regional administrator (of Cornwall)
Chamberlain of the County Palatinate of Chester = another regional administrator (low-level)
Warden of Cinque Ports = Protector and caretaker of several major ports
Warden of the Northern Marches = Regional Military Commander and protector of the border region (with Scotland)
Constable of Dover Castle = mayor and protector of the city of Dover
NOBLE TITLES:
5 Dukes (of "duchies")
11 Earls (of "earldoms")
2 Archbishops
4 Bishops
zillions of lesser nobles and honors, individual cities under their protection, etc.
Now, those are ENGLISH titles from the 15th Century during the War of the Roses, but I'll try to research Spanish titles (along with any Visigothic title system if I can dig one up for our ancient age). It's unlikely I'll be able to find anything for the Visigoths, so I recommend that we use a title system somewhat similar to the Latin/Roman conquerors of Iberia during this period (since that's what Iberia/Spain used...) if I we can't find anything for the Iberians or Visigoths themselves.
