European nobleman (7)

I believe the answer is:

marquis

'european nobleman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for marquis that I've seen before include "French nobleman (like de Sade)" , "British nobleman" , "Foreign nobleman ranking above a count" , "De Sade's noble rank" , "toff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times and The Telegraph.
