As every King is destined for a Queen, it is also appropriate to expand the Royal Suits to the other half.

Consequently we have a Empress of Hearts, Empress of Diamonds, and finally the Empress of Clubs to contend with.

The Duchess is represented by the letter X. She ranks below the King, Queen and Duke yet above the Marchioness and Marquess.
Doesn't the Duchess of Spades just roll of the tongue so eloquently? Maybe Duchess of Hearts, Duchess of Clubs, or Duchess of Diamonds sounds better?

and Barons.
We now have a Marchioness of Hearts, Marchioness of Diamonds, and Marchioness of Clubs.

In addition there is now a Countess of Hearts, Countess of Diamonds, and Countess of Clubs.

The Viscountess is represented by the letter U. She ranks below the Earls and Countesses and would be Counts. The Viscountess of Spades trumps all types of Barons. New Viscountesses include the Viscountess of Hearts, Viscountess of Diamonds, and Viscountess of Clubs.

The Baroness is represented by the letter S. The Baroness is above the Jack or Knave yet below the Viscounts. The Baroness of Spades is the lowest ranking of peerage.
Thus we also have the Baroness of Hearts, Baroness of Diamonds, and Baroness of Clubs.
