Fortunately, the King's Quest Omnipedia gave me a bunch of random names of other things to use, including an existing Duchy in the world, so woo for me.
1) Actually, a little bit of thinking reminded me of another ridiculous in-joke in King's Quest canon--there are some characters named as being from a land called Bruce, which is notable for many things but most know for one incident involving the Banner of Bruce, during which a rather unpleasant green monster arrived out of nowhere to destroy the Bruce Banner and left again without a trace.
...Yeah. The Incredible Hulk is King's Quest Canon. I CAN'T EVEN.
Soooo, thanks to this in-joke (and the fact that "De Brus apparently is an old French SCOTTISH-NORMAN, I CAN READ, WHATEVER IT'S A PUN name), She will now be Rosella de Brus, Princesse of Daventry, Duchess of Cumberford, Marchioness of Serenia, Countess of the Green Isle, &c. And thank YOU again, a million times, for all the help.
2) That's what I thought, that it signaled the heir apparent or whatever. But righto! o/
