This entry is, likely, only of interest to [personal profile] byrne, [personal profile] janedavitt, and [personal profile] tygerseye (and maybe not even to them), but the rest of you will just have to put up with the style geeking. :-)

From Chicago Manual of Style 14th edition*, section 7.27, p. 244:

Honorific Titles

Honorific titles and forms of address should be capitalized in any context:

Her (His) Majesty | Your Grace | Excellency
Her (His) Royal Highness | His Eminence | Your Honor

but

my lord | sir | madam



*I have the 14th here at work; my 15th is at home, but I can't imagine it says anything different.

This one was not even your novel, though it confirmed what I'd done for book II. :-)
