	baronetcy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The difference between baronetcies and all other knighthoods is that a baronetcy is effectively an hereditary knighthood, whereas all other knighthoods apply to an individual only.
		The eldest son of a baronet who is born in wedlock is also entitled to accede to the baronetcy upon the death of the current baronet, and to use the title "Sir".
		It is now rare for new baronetcies to be created, but one notable recent example is that of Sir Denis Thatcher, the husband of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

	Baronet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A baronet (traditional abbreviation Bart, modern abbreviation Bt) is the holder of a title, similar to a knighthood except that it is hereditary, known as a baronetcy.
		The revival of the Order can be dated to Sir Robert Cotton's discovery in the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century of William de la Pole's patent (issued in the 13th year of Edward III's reign), conferring upon him the dignity of a Baronet in return for a sum of money.
		Baronets use the title "Sir" before their name (baronetesses use "Dame"), but whereas all other knighthoods apply to an individual only, a baronetcy is hereditary.

		Baronets use the title "Sir" before their name, but whereas all other knighthoods apply to an individual only, a baronetcy is hereditary.
		However, beginning in the reign of George IV these rights have been gradually revoked, on the grounds that sovereigns should not be bound by acts made by their predecessors.
		It is now rare for new baronetcies (like all hereditary titles) to be created, but one notable recent example is that of the late Sir Denis Thatcher, the husband of former Prime Minister (and now baroness) Margaret Thatcher.

		As it is the oldest extant English baronetcy, the holder is considered the Premier Baronet of England.
		Sir Richard, the seventh baronet, succeeded to the baronetcy of Mildenhall in 1753, and on his accession to that of Redgrave in 1755 the two have remained merged.

		In the early 17th century a family of gentle birth at a place named Farway, in East Devon, who were undoubtedly connections of the Admiral's but who were extremely poor, emigrated to America.
		In actual point of fact, had any genuine collateral descendant of the Admiral been able to prove his claim, he would have inherited the Baronetcy only, had his petition to revive it been accepted.

		It is not clear whether women can inherit the baronetcy (if any did, they were not succeeded by their own children, or their husbands changed their names to Murgatroyd, or they married cousins with the family surname).
		If women cannot inherit, and if the baronetcy expires in default of heirs male, then the curse might have to acknowledge defeat, but not as long as any male heir may be traced, even if one has to go back to the distant relations of the unfortunate Rupert, and work down to the present again.
		Despard may even believe that, should he resume the baronetcy upon Ruthven's death-by-recovery-of-forgotten-moral-senses, he, too, will be virtuous enough to repent.

		In the 19th century the custom grew up of conferring baronetcies on distinguished men who were deemed by Victorian convention not quite worthy of a peerage, usually because of their calling rather than because of lack of wealth, Engineers were one group frequently so honoured.
		For example, by the end of 1995 no claim had been made regarding the baronetcy of FitzGerald of Geraldine Place, although the most recent officially recognised holder of the title, the 2nd baronet, had died 38 years previously.

		The title Viscount of Oxfuird was created in 1651 for Sir James Makgill, Baronet, along with the subsidiary title of Lord Makgill of Cousland,with remainder to heirs male whomsoever, a Scottish concept that permitted inheritance by persons not descended from the original grantee,but descended in the male line from male-line ancestors of the grantee.
		Thereafter, the matter was generally left alone, until the de jure tenth Viscount actively pressed his claim to the viscountcy and baronetcy.

		He was born on Sept 6 1912 and baptised Elizabeth as the third and youngest daughter of the 18th Lord Sempill, head of the Forbes-Sempill family, a long-established Scottish dynasty holding a 15th century Barony and a Baronetcy of Novia Scotia, created in 1630.
		On the death of her father, the 18th Lord Sempill, in 1934, both the barony and the baronetcy passed to her elder brother, who entrusted the management of his Fintray and Craigievar estates to his sister.
		Clearly, Forbes's correction of Birth Certificate and subsequent marriage in 1952 pre-dated the case of X. According to the press of the day, he had carried out a 're-registration of birth and change of Christian name' by obtaining from the Sheriff of Aberdeen 'a warrant for birth re-registration'.

		It was assumed that the baronetcy would pass to Ewan Forbes-Semphill, but his cousin, John Forbes-Semphill (who was the only son of the 18th Lord Semphill's youngest brother, Rear Admiral Arthur Forbes-Semphill) challenged the succession to the baronetcy on the grounds that it could be passed on only to a male heir.
