	Peerage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are various parts to the Peerage which convey slightly different benefits: the Peerage of England pertains to all titles created by the Kings and Queens of England prior to the Act of Union in 1707.
		The only remaining peerage with associated lands controlled by the holder is the Duchy of Cornwall, which is associated with the Dukedom of Cornwall, a dukedom held by the eldest son and heir to the Sovereign.
		While life peerages were often created in the early days of the Peerage, their regular creation was not provided for under an Act of Parliament until 1876, with the passage of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act.

	Peerage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Peerage is a system of titles of nobility which exists in the United Kingdom and is one part of the British honours system.
		The Peerage of Ireland includes titles created for the Kingdom of Ireland before the Act of Union of 1801, and some titles created after that year, while the Peerage of Great Britain pertains to titles created for the Kingdom of Great Britain between 1707 and 1801.
		A further important change occurred in 1999, when hereditary peers were stripped of their automatic right to sit in the Lords, with ninety-two peers—the holders of the ceremonial offices of Lord Great Chamberlain and Earl Marshal, along with ninety peers elected by other hereditaries—being retained temporarily until the completion of the reforms.

	BRITISH NOBILITY
		Once a peerage is disclaimed it is an irrevocable decision and the peerage no longer exists during the lifetime of the disclaiming peer.
		Until the House of Lords Act of 1999, succession to the disclaimed peerage was not accelerated (that is, the oldest son does not get the peerage as soon as his father has disclaimed it), nor was it diverted (to a brother or cousin, for instance).
		Peerage law determines what is meant by "heirs male", "of his body", and "legitimately born", but doesn't affect the devolution of the peerage as defined in the patent.

	Black v Chrétien and the honours prerogative
		Doubtless, the British Prime Minister did not insist upon Conrad Black’s peerage being conferred - indeed, when the dispute first arose his spokesman cautiously observed that "it is the practice to seek the approval of the Canadian government when it is proposed that a Canadian citizen is honoured".
		British honours are principally the concern of British minister, and likewise Canadian ministers can advise the Queen with respect to Canadian honours.
		The peerage was in effect a British office, and as such wholly within the field of the British prerogative, exercisable on the advice of the British Prime Minister.

	The Conflict Between British and Continental Concepts of Nobility and the Order of Malta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		During the period from 1815 to 1964, the British peerage expanded nearly four times, although the number of British peers was proportionately always much less than the titled continental nobility, since a peerage accorded the right to a seat in the nation's parliament.
		The lesser British nobility or gentry likewise increased enormously during the same period with the establishment of an entrenched upper class whose wealth derived from business or the professions rather than land and whose interest in petitioning for arms was stimulated by Victorian historical revivalism.
		An attempt to equate the British gentry with the continental nobility was made by the Stuart kings in exile, who issued many declarations or confirmations of nobility for their adherents to assist them in obtaining preferment for offices for which nobility was a qualification.

	Feudal Titles
		The concept of peerage did not develop immediately, and its subsequent evolution was haphazard and irrational.
		After the concept of the Peerage had taken root in England, it was argued that those feudal barons, Barons by Tenure, who had been summoned to the early Parliaments were ipso facto peers, Barons by Writ.
		In brief: a feudal title is a territorial dignity which passes with the ownership of the lands to which it is attached; a peerage title is a personal dignity which will pass, if it is not a life peerage, according to the "remainder" or "destination" specified at the time of its creation.
