History of the British peerage (original) (raw)

The history of the British peerage, a system of nobility found in the United Kingdom, stretches over the last thousand years. The current form of the British peerage has been a process of development. While the ranks of baron and earl predate the British peerage itself, the ranks of duke and marquess were introduced to England in the 14th century. The rank of viscount came later, in the mid-15th century. Peers were summoned to Parliament, forming the House of Lords.

dbo:abstract	The history of the British peerage, a system of nobility found in the United Kingdom, stretches over the last thousand years. The current form of the British peerage has been a process of development. While the ranks of baron and earl predate the British peerage itself, the ranks of duke and marquess were introduced to England in the 14th century. The rank of viscount came later, in the mid-15th century. Peers were summoned to Parliament, forming the House of Lords. The unions of England and Scotland to form Great Britain in 1707, and of Great Britain and Ireland to form the United Kingdom in 1801, led successively to the establishment of the Peerages of Great Britain and later of the United Kingdom, and the discontinuation of creations in the Peerages of England and Scotland. Scottish and Irish peers did not have an automatic right to sit in the House of Lords, and instead elected representative peers from amongst their number. Peerages were largely hereditary until the regular creation of life peers began in the second half of the 20th century. The last creation of a non-royal hereditary peer occurred in 1984; even then it was considered unusual. Life peers and 92 hereditary peers still retain the right to sit and vote in the House of Lords, though their power is restricted and further reform of the House of Lords is under consideration. (en) La storia della parìa britannica, il sistema di nobiltà presente nel Regno Unito, si estende negli ultimi mille anni. Le origini della paria sono oscure ma mentre i titoli di barone e conte forse precedono la stessa paria, i titoli di duca e marchese furono introdotti nel Regno d'Inghilterra nel XIV secolo. Il titolo di visconte arrivò più tardi, a metà del XV secolo. I pari si riunivano in Parlamento, formando la Camera dei lord. Nel 1707 il Regno d'Inghilterra e il Regno di Scozia si unirono per formare il Regno di Gran Bretagna. Nel 1801 il Regno di Gran Bretagna e il Regno d'Irlanda si unirono per formare il Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna e Irlanda. Queste due unioni diedero vita rispettivamente alla paria di Gran Bretagna e alla paria del Regno Unito. I pari scozzesi e irlandesi non avevano automaticamente il diritto di sedere nella Camera dei lord e così eleggevano dei pari rappresentativi tra di essi. I titoli erano in gran parte ereditari fino all'avvio della regolare creazione di pari a vita dalla seconda metà del XX secolo. L'ultima creazione di un pari ereditario non reale avvenne nel 1984; anche allora venne considerato un caso insolito. Conservano il diritto di sedere e votare nella Camera dei lord solo i pari a vita e 92 pari ereditari eletti. Il loro potere è limitato e si sta prendendo in considerazione un'ulteriore riforma della Camera dei lord. (it)
