	PEERAGE - LoveToKnow Article on PEERAGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the United Kingdom the rights, duties and privileges of peerage are centred in an individual; to the monarchial nations of the Continent nobility conveys the idea of family, as opposed to personal, privilege.
		The conclusion, then, may be drawn that in theory the issue of a writ was at the pleasure of the Crown, and that in practice the moving factor in the case of the prelates was office and personal importance, and in the case of abbots and barons probably, in the main, extent of possession.
		The grant of a peerage is a very different matter; its holder becomes thereby a member of the Upper House of Parliament, and therefore, the prerogative of the Crown in creating such an office of honor must be exercised strictly in accordance with the law of the land.

		The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (usually shortened to the United Kingdom or the UK) is a country (or more specifically a constitutional monarchy or unitary state) off the north-western coast of continental Europe, surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.
		The United Kingdom is the union of the Kingdom of England (which includes the principality of Wales) with the Kingdom of Scotland and later the Kingdom of Ireland to form a single state.
		Also sometimes associated with the United Kingdom, though not constitutionally part of the United Kingdom itself, are the Crown dependencies (the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey, and the Isle of Man) as self-governing possessions of the Crown, and a number of overseas territories under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom.

	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 - ArtPolitic Encyclopedia of Politics : Information Portal
		There are several distinct groupings of peerages within Britain: the peerage of England pertains to all titles created by the Kings and Queens of England prior to the Act of Union in 1707.
		Because Ireland had ceased to be a part of the United Kingdom in 1922, Irish peerages were not included in the law, and thus cannot be disclaimed.
		Not all British titles are peerage titles: knights and baronets are not by virtue of those titles peers, nor are princes or princesses (unless they have also been granted a peerage title, as royal princes usually are).

	Encyclopedia: British House of Lords (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The House of Lords is not the only court of last resort in the United Kingdom; in some cases, that role is fulfilled by the Privy Council.
		When Scotland united with England to form Great Britain in 1707, it was provided that the Scottish hereditary peers would only be able to elect sixteen representative peers to sit in the House of Lords; the term of a representative was to extend until the next general elections.
		The jurisdiction of the Privy Council in the United Kingdom, however, is more narrow than that of the House of Lords; it encompasses appeals from ecclesiastical courts, issues related to devolution, disputes under the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975, and a few other minor matters.

	BRITISH NOBILITY
		This was the strictly honorary nobility or "parliamentary peerage" of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
		Once a peerage is disclaimed it is an irrevocable decision and the peerage no longer exists during the lifetime of the disclaiming peer.
		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.

	The History of 8 Families
		Greater definition of their position and privileges became necessary in the 13th century with the development of the parliamentary institutions, and summons to the House of Lords was accepted as evidence of a peerage.
		While a peerage has always been regarded as one of the pillars on which the crown rested, during the 17th and the 18th centuries it was credited with a balancing role, preventing the British constitution from sliding either into despotism or into anarchy.
		In 1707, at the Act of Union with Scotland, a new British peerage was instituted, and changed in 1801, after the union with Ireland, into a peerage of the United Kingdom.

		He served as a Tory Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on two separate occasions, and was one of the leading figures in the House of Lords until his retirement in 1846.
		For this, he was raised to the peerage as Viscount Wellington, of Talavera and of Wellington in the County of Somerset.
		As Prime Minister, Wellington was the picture of the arch-conservative, though oddly enough the highlight of his term was Catholic Emancipation, the granting of almost full civil rights to Catholics in the United Kingdom.

	JAG - The Peerage
		The peerage of Charlemagne was the first and, for its influence throughout the politics of mediaeval Europe, the most famous.
		Scotland may be said to have a peerage of similar antiquity, for that body known as the "Seven Earls" was as powerful as the continental peerages, pre-dated all but that of Charlemagne, and its descendants retained great influence until comparatively modern times.
		In contrast, new appointments to the Peerage of Ireland did not end similarly in 1801, when Ireland joined Great Britain in the United Kingdom and the Peerage of the United Kingdom was created, for it was agreed that the number of Irish peers could be maintained at 100 by new creations.

	Erskine May, Chapter V, pp. 281-290
		Nor must the ancient nobility of the Scottish peerage be forgotten in the persons of those high-born men, who now figure on the roll, as peers of the United Kingdom, of comparatively recent creation.
		The right of the crown to admit Scottish peers to the peerage of Great Britain having at length been recognised, the king exercised the right in favour of the Earl of Abercorn and the Duke of Queensberry,—both of whom were sitting, at that time, in the House of Lords, as representative peers of Scotland.
		A similar absorption of the Irish peerage into the peerage of the United Kingdom has also been observable, though, by the terms of the Act of Union, the full number of one hundred Irish peers will continue to be maintained.

	Errors in Burke's Peerage
		The major difficulty for modern researchers is that the importance of the peerage dignity was not viewed in 16th century Scotland with quite the same regard as is common today, and the preparation and composition then of the associated documentation was not as precise as it would be today.
		Although it is encouraging to note that for Ogilvy of Airlie the 1970 edition uses the title of Lord in the main body of the entry, the list of titles at the foot of the article allocates the abbreviation of B for Baron with the date of the 1491 creation.
		Burke's Peerage does correctly use "Henry, 3rd Lord Sinclair" in the Sinclair entry, but describes his wife Margaret as the daughter of the 1st Earl of Bothwell, whereas she was the daughter of the Master of Hailes, father of the 1st Earl, and was thus the sister, not the daughter, of the 1st Earl.
