The English Aristocracy: A Beginner's Guide to Their Titles, Rank, and Forms of Address (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500465124)

The Aristocracy of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have, for generations, enjoyed great wealth and great power, and over the centuries have helped forge the political landscape of both Britain and Ireland. A century ago they figured prominently in the media and the marriage of a duke was headline news. Today, most people are only familiar with fictional aristocrats, like the Earl of Grantham and his family in Downton Abbey, or Lord Bellamy and his family in Upstairs, Downstairs. Anyone who is intrigued to know about the English aristocracy can find a wealth of information in this informative book, including:

The ranks of the aristocracy
How to address an aristocrat
A brief history of their various titles
How to nominate a person for honours
The ranks of servants, and their roles
And much, much more.
