1. My Lord
   Your Honor
2. Sir
   Lady

A knight is like a non-hereditary baron. The proper way to address a knight is to call him "sir."

1. Rothesay
   Roxburghe
2. Atholl
   Montrose

This dukedom was created in 1398! To be considered a Scottish-only title it has to predate the Act of Union in 1707.

1. Marquis
   Knight
2. Duke
   Viscount

Viscount is the fourth title down!

1. Duke
   Earl
2. Lord
   Prince

The one below a prince is a duke. There aren't very many of them though.

1. Grosvenor
   Innes-Kerr
2. Hamilton
   Wellesley

The first Duke of Wellington was Arthur Wellesley, who defeated Napoleon and saved Europe from being absorbed into his growing empire.

1. Derbyshire
   Devonshire
2. Trick question: there is no Duke of Derbyshire, there is just a duke who lives in Derbyshire
   Pemberley

The Duke of Devonshire lives in Derbyshire at their ancestral seat of Chatsworth, which is the house that Mr. Darcy's Pemberley was based on. There is no Duke of Derbyshire.

1. Wellington
   Westminster
2. Bedford
   Cornwall

The Duke of Westminster owns a ridiculous amount of London property, for a net worth of well over $3bn. He is also single and in his 20s, meaning he is widely considered to be the most eligible man in England now that Prince Harry is engaged.

1. Russell
   Grosvenor
2. Gloucester
   Cavendish

Cavendish (Devonshire), Russell (Bedford) and Grosvenor (Westminster) are all the names of dukes' families. Gloucester Square is the only one here that is named for the duke's title, as opposed to the family name. The family of the Duke of Gloucester is called Windsor: the current duke, Prince Richard, is actually the grandson of George V, making him the Queen's second cousin.

1. Grand Duchess of Oxford
   Countess of Grantham
2. Marchioness of Bristol
   Duke of Tintagel

There is a real Marchioness of Bristol, but the other three titles are fictional, hailing respectively from "The Royals," "Downton Abbey" and "The Buccaneers" by Edith Wharton.

1. A lord whose title dies when they do
   A peer who is alive
2. A peer who was a lord for their whole life, as opposed to inheriting it
   The first person to get a specific title

Peers are either life peers or hereditary peers. Life peers get their peerages for things like outstanding service to Queen and country.

1. One who wears their robes all the time
   One who isn't affiliated with a political party
2. One who votes regularly for and against the government in the Lords
   One who works in the House of Commons

If you're a peer and you sit in the House of Lords, you have to affiliate with a party, or you can ask to be a "crossbencher," which shows that you are not affiliated. They sit on special benches that are in the middle.

1. It's the first one given to a woman.
   It's the last one given to a Prime Minister.
2. It's the last hereditary title.
   It had to be given to her husband instead, because she is a woman.

Thatcher was given a baronetcy, which is a mini barony. It's hereditary, though her son has caught heat for behaving in a manner ill befitting it. Hereditary titles are not given out any more, so this was the last one.

1. Lord or Lady
   Nothing
2. The Honorable
   Earl or Marquis

The younger children of a Duke are Lord or Lady, but the eldest son and heir is called Marquis or Earl. This is called a "courtesy" title. That person's eldest son usually has another title, which means every time someone in the line above them passes away, they have to change their name yet again and get new credit cards.

1. Earless
   Earlobe
2. Lady
   Countess

Earl is an Anglo-Saxon title, but it's the counterpart of the French Count or Comte. Hence, the wife of an Earl is a Countess, not an Earless (since they do mostly have ears).

1. My Lord
   Earl
2. You there
   Mr. Earl

The proper address for an Earl is to call him my Lord or your Lordship.

1. A knight
   A dame
2. A baroness
   A boss

A lady knight is a dame - and there's nothing like one!

1. About 750
   About 500
2. About 1,000
   About 1,500

There are around 750 titles at present.

1. The Queen gives the title to a new person.
   The title is put up for sale.
2. Other lords can trade their title for it.
   It ceases to exist.

Titles will go "extinct" if there is no heir, meaning it ceases to exist altogether.

1. No
   Yes, if you are convicted of a crime
2. Yes, if the Queen says so
   Yes, if the Prime Minister says so

Technically the PM can recommend to strip you of your title and then the Queen will take it away. If you commit treason or some other extremely serious crime, this can happen.

1. Yes, but they have to give it up.
   Yes, and keep it
2. No
   Only if they get the title after they win election

You can't be a lord and an MP at the same time. Tony Benn gave up the title of Viscount Stansgate to be an MP.

1. As many as Lord Smith can marry and divorce, plus a dowager
   One
2. One, plus a dowager
   As many as Lord Smith can marry, divorce and father - plus a dowager

Since Lord Smith is just a lord, his daughters are not ladies, so they're not called Lady Smith. However his mother, having been married to the last Lord Smith, is the Dowager Lady Smith. Likewise, his wife is Lady Smith. Where it gets confusing is if Lord Smith is married and divorced multiple times - since his exes cannot be forced to give up their titles, there could end up being a number of rival Lady Smiths out there.

1. No
   Only until Britain leaves the EU
2. Yes
   Only if it is above a certain level

People with foreign titles can certainly use them in Britain, but it won't always get them the reaction they want! Certainly people might be less welcoming to titles from less friendly nations.

1. Yes
   No
2. They can get the letters after their name but not be called "sir."
   Only if they are resident in the UK

Foreign citizens can be a "KBE" or Knight of the British Empire.

1. Of course!
   No
2. He's not even a real person!
   I don't know who that is.

Screaming Lord Sutch was the founder of the Monster Raving Loony Party, a parody political party in the UK whose ideas included things like lowering the voting age to 18, and giving passports to pets - both of which are now the law in the UK (albeit without the Monster Raving Loonies ever winning office). David Sutch actually changed his name legally to Screaming Lord Sutch. The British parliamentary system means that all candidates have to stand in a row while the winner is announced, meaning perfectly serious politicians had to stand next to Lord Sutch in his ridiculous top hat and silly coat and then shake his hand when they inevitably beat him.

1. Earl Cadogan
   Viscount Portman
2. Viscount Rothermere
   Earl of Iveagh

A lot of British aristocrats are not actually immensely rich - and many have a very nice house or a fabulous art collection but without the cashflow to match. Others, however, are pretty darn wealthy. Generally the richest ones are those who had estates in what is now central London, which is the source of the Cadogans' wealth.

1. Dandelion
   Thistle
2. Rose
   Charlock

The Order of the Thistle is a very important chivalric order founded by James VII in 1687.

1. There isn't one.
   A baron is higher than a lord.
2. A baron is lower than a lord.
   All barons are lords but not all lords are barons.

A baron is the lowest kind of lord, just above a knight. "Lord" is just a generic word for a title-holding person.

1. Norfolk
   Beaufort
2. Bedford
   Rutland

The Russell family, Dukes of Bedford, owned this piece of land until it was subject to a compulsory purchase order in order to build the museum.

1. Dear Duchess
   Dear FirstName
2. Dear Lady LastName
   Dear Your Grace

It sounds weird, but it's correct. The first time you meet a Duchess, you're supposed to address her as ... Duchess.

1. Ermine and velvet
   PVC and pleather
2. Wool and rabbit fur
   Lynx and velvet

These red robes have ermine collars, plus insignia denoting what rank the relevant peer is.

1. Yes
   No
2. Some of them
   Depends on the law

When the hereditary House of Lords was set to be abolished by Tony Blair's government in 1997, a compromise was reached to keep 92 of the hereditary peers. This was meant to be temporary, but they have never gotten around to doing anything about it. Many peers didn't object to being abolished, as they agreed that they ought to be, but these 92 put up a fight.

1. He is the first Indian peer.
   He is the only peer who has a PhD.
2. He holds the title that has gone extinct the most number of times of all titles.
   He is a she.

The first hereditary title given to a woman was this one. Henry VIII gave it to Anne Boleyn before marrying her, as a way of making his intentions clear.

1. Kindly Call Me God
   God Calls Me God
2. Please Call Me God
   Call Me God

GCMG, KCMG, and CMG are all real acronyms for this order. They are respectively, Grand Cross, Knight Commander, and Commander of the Order of St. Michael & St. George.

1. Suffolk
   Buccleuch
2. Norfolk
   Derbyshire

The duchy of Norfolk is very old, dating back to 1397. The dukes live at Arundel Castle in Sussex and are still the Earl Marshal and Hereditary Marshals of England.
