Talk:Peerage of the United Kingdom

message: Thatcher baronets says "It is the only baronetcy to be granted since 1964 (as of 2017) and is one of only three extant hereditary titles awarded outside the British royal family since 1965" but it is not listed in the 'Ranks' section which lists another baron created in 1965.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.19.12 (talk) 20:25, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradictions? 

message: This page is pretty big. Is there any reason not to split it up into:
* Dukes in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
* Marquesses in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
* Earls and Countesses in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
* Viscounts in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
* Hereditary Barons in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
* Life Barons and Baronesses in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
with of course the appropriate pointers here? Noel (talk) 16:31, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Where are the lists of life peerages higher than a baron? In history also higher life peerages were created upto duchess. I fail to see them here. Or concerns these listings only still existing and living peerages? Demophon (talk) 18:09, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe life peerages have ever been created as anything other than Barons. 90.241.13.206 (talk) 20:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's not true. Cecilia Underwood was created Duchess of Inverness for life, in her own right, by Queen Victoria, on 10 April 1840. So again, where are the lists of life peerages higher than a baron? Demophon (talk) 00:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  No she wasn't. The title was created with the standard heir male remainder. There were however many other titles created for women for life only. AllsoulsDay (talk) 15:18, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Life peerage higher than baron

message: Where in the peerage do Baronets and baronetcies rank. I believe above Barons. Why are they not included in the list ? 193.195.196.141 (talk) 09:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Baronet and baronetcies

message: I read in the article it was in 1964 when the British government stopped creating peers. I also read that that happened when Harold Wilson came into power. Well, my question is, why did he decided to do that? I mean, the article details the fact that no more peers were to be created, but does not state the reason to make such a decision. So I would appreciate a line or two on the subject. Greetings, --85.57.70.254 (talk) 16:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why? 

message: I notice that there's an average of ten hereditary peerages created per year up until about 1964, and after that almost none - and usually then mainly for members of the royal family. Is there any reason why this is so, as the article doesn't address this? What i'm getting at is this: is there some sort of policy (official or unofficial) to let hereditary titles eventually dwindle or die out through attrition? For instance, why aren't former PMs made hereditary earls any more? 121.73.7.84 (talk) 09:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that Wilson's government basically decided to stop creating hereditary peerages.  Heath's government was reluctant to reverse this policy, so by the time Thatcher came in, there was a fifteen year precedent in not creating hereditary titles.  Thatcher apparently wanted to revive the creation of hereditary peerages, which is why she president over the creation of three for non-royal family members (Stockton, Tonypandy, Whitelaw), but this was apparently an abortive effort. john k (talk) 18:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: All the sections titled "(title)s in the Peerage of the United Kingdom", should be removed. It's all already covered, in the section "Lists of peers". Besides which, the list of Barons is woefully incomplete, as it doesn't include life peers. (and this article is "Peerage of the United Kingdom". Not "Hereditary peerage of the United Kingdom")--213.113.50.182 (talk) 08:32, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

message: Is it necessary to include a coronet above every shield of arms? It doesn't tell us anything new, since the titles are already categorised by rank, and it makes the shields themselves too small to see. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 18:08, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
