| | Peerage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Normally, life peerages are granted to individuals nominated by the various political parties or by the House of Lords Appointments Commission. | | | The Sovereign him or herself cannot belong to the Peerage as "the fountain and source of all dignities cannot hold a dignity from himself" (opinion of the House of Lords in the Buckhurst Peerage Case). | | | The Sovereign is incapable of holding a peerage dignity; when the holder of a peerage succeeds to the Crown, the dignity merges in the Crown and ceases to exist. |

| | The British Peerage: |
| | Peerage is the dignity to which is attached the right of a summons by name to sit and vote in Parliament.(100) There are however some peers who are not lords of Parliament, and lords of Parliaments who are not peers- the lords spiritual. | | | Peerages conferred by the British Sovereign are not, in the law of New Zealand, titles conferred by a foreign Sovereign. | | | A peerage was held to be a feudal dignity rather than a titular dignity, and therefore unalienable. |

| | French Peerage |
| | A peerage was a dignity or office attached to a fief. | | | Upon extinction of the peerage, the estates which had formed it were to revert to the Crown, by the terms of the Edicts of July 1566 and March 1582. | | | Thus, in 1695 the county of Eu passed from the duchess of Montpensier to the duc de Maine, to whom she had given it, and the seniority of the peerage was unchanged. |

| | 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. | | | Its most notable successors were the peerages of Flanders (established circa 1067) and of France (established in 1180), the former having as its members twelve powerful lords, and the latter six powerful lords and six equally powerful prelates. | | | New appointments to the English and Scottish Peerages ended with the Union of the two countries in 1707 and the formation of the Peerage of Great Britain. |

| | He then became Lord Paisley, an hereditary peerage title, in addition to being Lord of Paisley, his feudal title. | | | Lord Claud's eldest son was created Lord Abercorn in 1603, and then in 1606, when he was promoted Earl of Abercorn, he was given the additional title of Lord Paisley, Hamilton, Mountcastell and Kilpatrick. | | | 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. |
