What are some old fashioned ways of addressing others?
For example during the Renaissance or Medieval times, what did they call one another?
Also, what did the regular folk call each other?
Please give me examples and tell me what they mean.
Examples~
Madam: Used as a form of polite address for a woman, the mistress of a household, or a woman who manages a brothel.
My lady: a form of madam
Wench: A young woman or girl, especially a peasant girl, a woman servant, or a vulgar promiscuous woman who flouts propriety.
Sir: Used as a form of polite address for a man or used as an honorific before the given name or the full name of baronets and knights.
