THE HEREDITARY PEERAGE
This document is an all-in-one list including
all living Peers, their main hereditary title and heir apparent/presumptive,
dates of birth and accession, and the division and date of creation of each peerage.
Ages/durations (years-months-days to date) are computed from all clear dates.
The initial chronological order arranges all titleholders from the earliest accession to the most recent.
The list is adaptable to specific search by the selection of various sortings and sets,
e.g. ranks in and divisions of the Peerage.
