An ordinal number is given whenever possible for all male holders of peerage titles and baronetcies originating in the British Isles, unless the peerage title or baronetcy was created for and died with the subject, or was a courtesy title.
Ordinal numbers place each holder of a peerage title in a line of hereditary succession; so Hugh Percy (1742–1817) is described as second duke of Northumberland and not fourth, for although three individuals before him had borne the title, he was the second holder of the dukedom created for his father in 1766.
