Duke or Earl (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

title

noble

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">duke or earl</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "established claim to ownership" , "Right of ownership" , "Sign of nobility or name of a work" , "Legal document regarding transfer of ownership: appellation" , "Championship -- form of address" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
