That's what it looked like to me--as he was listed in the story as "John Mayminster, fourth Viscomte MacRoss", though the 'subsequently dropped the capital "R"' bit puzzles me slightly--can you do that with a title?

But a little stretch in the rather Byzantine system of English (and, by extension, all European) titlature can be accepted without too much nitpicking--I mean, how many people these days even know what a Viscount *is*, much less how it compares to the other various ranks?

Heraldry's fun, but I'm glad that we don't have to worry about it too much these days.

Though I rather miss the Latin mottos....
