Peerage of England
- Peerage of England
The Peerage of England comprises all
peerage s created in theKingdom of England before the Act of Union in1707 . In that year, the Peerages of England and Scotland were replaced by onePeerage of Great Britain .Until the passage of the
House of Lords Act 1999 , all Peers of England could sit in theHouse of Lords (but Peeresses of England were only granted seats in 1963).The ranks of the English peerage are
Duke ,Marquess ,Earl ,Viscount , andBaron . While most newer English peerages descend only in male line, many of the older ones (particularly older baronies) can descend through females. Under English inheritance law all daughters are co-heirs, so many older English peerage titles have fallen intoabeyance between various female co-heirs.In the following table, each peer is listed only by his or her highest English title, showing higher or equal titles in the other peerages.
