What are the ranks of the British Peerage
The British system of knighthood can be roughly divided into three main categories: hereditary nobility, life nobility and "common nobility" (from baronetcy and knighthood). On the British pyramid of nobility, at the top of the tower is, of course, the royal family. The first is the King or Queen (including the Queen Mother), followed by the descendants of the royal family and other family members; and then below the royal family, there are the traditional hereditary nobility of "Duke, Marquis, Burghers, Sons, and Barons", the reason why I say it is a traditional title is because in today's society, the King seldom creates new hereditary nobility, but the last "Baronet" is the most important. "Baron" is also a non-hereditary life title. Below the fifth degree of nobility, there are also the so-called plebeian titles, such as baronetcy and knighthood. The term "commoner's peerage" is in quotes because the holders of these titles do not belong to the aristocracy, but are undoubtedly the best of the commoners.
