	Peerage - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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.

	Privilege and Precedence
		The nobility of England enjoy many great privileges, the principal of which are as follows: That they are free from all arrest for debts, as being the king's hereditary counsellors.
		But for editors of society columns in popular newspapers, such privileges as wearing a hat in the presence of the king were always the most important ~ quite irresistible and, it would seem, wholly believable.

		The king observing him, sent one of his attendants to inquire the reason of his appearance before him with his head covered; to whom he replied, he knew very well in whose presence he stood, and the reason why he wore his hat that day was, because he stood before the king of England.
		To which the earl replied, that having estates and titles enough, he desired that his successors might have the privilege (their first obeisance having been paid) to remain covered in the presence of the sovereign, and all future Kings of England; which request was immediately conceded.

		Other forms of privilege help to create it, but ownership of land is the chief cause.
		The principle of aristocracy arises from the possession of privilege, and of all its forms the ownership of land is the widest in extent, most potent and most permanent.
		Even when the start is made from equality of condition, those who acquire large holdings and become the large land-owners become the real ruling class, the possessors of other privileges swelling their numbers.

		Though the privilege has long been disused, it claims not only to be irresponsible, but to coerce criticism, and to chastise those who dispute its pretensions.
