( June 2009 ) Part of a series on Peerage Ranks Duke Duchess Marquess Marchioness Earl Countess Viscount Viscountess Baron Baroness Types Hereditary Life Representative Divisions England Scotland Ireland Great Britain United Kingdom History Overview Privileges Robes House of Lords British politics portal United Kingdom portal The Peerage of England comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of England before the Act of Union in 1707. In that year, the Peerages of England and Scotland were replaced by one Peerage of Great Britain. Until the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999, all Peers of England could sit in the House of Lords. ( Women peers of England were only granted seats with the Peerage Act 1963 ). The ranks of the English peerage are, in descending order, Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. While most newer English peerages descend only in the male line, many of the older ones ( particularly older baronies ) can descend through females. Under English inheritance law all daughters are co-heirs, so many older English peerage titles have fallen into abeyance between various female co-heirs. Baronets, while holders of hereditary titles, are not peers and do not confer nobility. Knights, Dames, and holders of other non-hereditary orders, decorations, and medals of the United Kingdom are also not peers. In the following table, each peer is listed only by his or her highest English title, showing higher or equal titles in the other peerages. Those peers who are known by a higher title in one of the other peerages are listed in italics.
