“Order in the court!”

Hi Strands fans. Clever puzzle setting, this. When I saw the theme of "Order in the court!", my first thought was to look for legal types, such as judges, jurors and bailiffs. Instead, it was all about royal and noble titles!
Fortunately, it was pretty easy after I got my first one by accident, while looking for 'clue' words: QUEEN. Probably thinking in terms of chess, I then spotted KNIGHT in the opposite corner, which was followed by DUCHESS along the middle. That blocked off a section so I could spell out VISCOUNT in the top-right corner.
I was running short of terms, so it took me a while to find the next one: EARL, between the spangram and QUEEN. But after that, I was up to full speed again with BARON in the middle of the grid, which gave me enough space to complete the spangram of TITLES.
Only one word was left, and I'm glad I left it until last, because I wouldn't have considered the archaic usage of the word: ESQUIRE.
That was a fun one today! Hopefully tomorrow's can continue to the trend...
