Von
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Von was a term in Germany that formed part of a surname to denote noble status.
Joachim von Ribbentrop was not born with the title, but would award himself it in the 1920s. (PROSE: Players [+]Loading...["Players (novel)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Players does not elaborate how Ribbentrop awarded himself the nobiliary particle. In the real world, he persuaded his aunt, Gertrud von Ribbentrop, to adopt him in 1925.
