Also, given that in-universe nobles are allowed to be polygamous, can we also assume that only the first/"head" wife is allowed to use the feminine counterpart of her husband's title (ex. "Countess Elise Katharina von Benno Baumeister"), whereas the rest of the wives and concubines would simply style themselves as "Lady _____" or "Madame _____"?

Philine's eventual ranking within the hierarchy of wives (once she comes of age and marries Wend) is another big conundrum. One would think that she could perhaps  "displace" Elise as first /head wife due to her family's title and rank being greater than Elise's... though on the other hand, the fact that she has mixed commoner heritage might also diminish her status somewhat. In addition, there's also the matter of Margrave von Breithilde having significantly less influence and clout compared to Cardinal von Hohenheim (a viscount and an official of the Holy Church)...
