Compounds 1, serene adj. 4), etc. Occasionally also as a mock title.‘His (or Her) Highness’ was formerly one of the titles given to English kings and queens, varying with ‘Grace’ (see grace n. 8), and later with ‘Majesty’ (see majesty n. 2). In the Dedication of the King James version of the Bible to James VI and I (see quot. 1611), Highness and Majesty are used indiscriminately, as they had been in reference to James' predecessor Elizabeth I; but later in his reign Majesty became the official style used in addressing or referring to the monarch.
