Lorsqu'on emploie le titre «grand prévôt» pour s'adresser directement à la personne, le mot «prévôt» prend la majuscule ainsi que l'adjectif «grand» qui le précède. Lorsqu'on emploie le terme générique en début de ligne (dans une attache de signature par exemple), seul le «G» prend la majuscule. Autrement, le titre de poste s'écrit «grand prévôt». 7, record 1, French, - grand%20pr%C3%A9v%C3%B4t
