Peerage of England

The peerage of England ( peerage off England ) gathers all the titles of peerages ( peerage titles ) create in the Royaume of England before 1707. Peerage gathered the members of the House of Lords of the English Parliament. In 1707, the kingdom of England and Scotland were joined together. The pars of England integrated the House of Lords of the new Parliament of Great Britain, then in 1801, that of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. In 1999, the “law of the House of Lords” ( House off Lords Act ), withdrew with the pars of England their right to sit, except for the Duc of Norfolk and of the Marquis de Cholmondeley.

The various titles of the peerage of England are Duc or duchess for a woman ( duke and duchess ), Marquis or marchioness for a woman ( marquess and marchioness ), Count or countess for a woman ( earl and countess ), Vicomte or viscountess for a woman ( viscount and viscountess ), baron or baroness for a woman ( baron and baronesses ). Some of the old titles of barons can pass, contrary to the majority of the titles, with women. However, all the girls having right equal to the succession, the titles fall in Indivision ( abeyance ) between different the co-heirs.
