If one were to think solely of his and Ferdinand's families’ relative positions in noble society, Ferdinand would be more highly ranked than he is, but Ferdinand is an illegitimate son, while he is legitimate. And, as he is a member of the extended family of the mother of Ferdinand's half-brother, the standing of his house is not at all insignificant. As such, he cannot help but to show his superiority over Ferdinand whenever he calls him.
