THE degrees of nobility in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland are five, viz. Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, and Barons; to which may perhaps be properly added a sixth, viz. the Archbishops and Bishops, who as spiritual lords are entitled to a seat in the house of peers, and possess for their lives all the faculties and privileges of the peerage.

It is proper to advert to a mode of creation and advancement of peers in use in ancient times, viz. in full parliament; on which occasion it does not appear that any writ was used, but that the person advanced or recently created, after undergoing the usual ceremonies of investiture, had his patent delivered to him, and did homage to the king.

The following instances, amongst many others, of the above mode of creation, appear in the Rolls of Parliament:

The marquess of Juliers, created earl of Cambridge, in full parliament, 14 Edw. III. The lord chancellor notified the king's pleasure to create his son, Lionel, then in Ireland, duke of Clarence to him and his heirs male, his son, John, duke of Lancaster, and Edmund, earl of Cambridge, in fee accordingly. The Commons pray the Lords that the king would create Richard de Bourdeaux, (son of Edward the Black Prince, late Prince of Wales,) Prince of Wales, to which the Lords answer, that he could only be created by the King, 50 Edw. III. Richard, prince of Wales, duke of Cornwall, and earl of Chester, opened the parliament by commission, sitting in the King's own place, the Lord Chancellor, in notifying the causes for calling the parlia ment, said that the King, agreeably to their desire, had created Richard de Bourdeaux, prince of Wales, &c., 1376. Edmund, earl of Cambridge, advanced to the dignity of duke of York, by the king himself in full parliament, by girding him with a sword, putting a crown of gold on his head, and delivering him his patent of creation, 1385. The earl

of Buckingham and Essex advanced to the dignity of duke of Gloucester in the like manner. Upon request of the Commons, sir John Holland, the king's brother, created earl of Huntingdon, in full parliament, in tail male special. John, duke of Lancaster, created duke of Aquitaine for life, in full parliament, and did homage to the king as king of France. Edward, eldest son of the duke of York, created earl of Rutland in full parliament, during the LIFE OF HIS FATHER, 1389. Sir Aubrey de Vere created earl of Oxford to him and his heirs male, in full parliament, and did homage accordingly. 16th Rich. II., John de Beaufort created earl of Somerset, and his heirs male, in full parliament, and did homage, and was placed between the earl marshal and the earl of Warwick. 20 Rich. II., the earl of Derby created duke of Hereford, the earl of Rutland created duke of Albemarle, the earl of Kent created duke of Surrey, the earl of Huntingdon created duke of Exeter, the earl of Nottingham created duke of Norfolk in tail male, Margaret, countess of Norfolk for life, in her absence created duchess of Norfolk, and her patent of creation sent to her, all in full parliament. The earl of Somerset created marquess of Dorset, lord le Despencer created earl of Gloucester, lord Neville created earl of Westmorland, Thomas de Percy created earl of Worcester, William le Scroop created earl of Wiltshire, intail male, and all in full parliament 21 Rich. II.

Henry, eldest son of the king, created prince of Wales, duke of Cornwall, and earl of Chester, in full parliament, 1 Henry IV.; declaration that the king's eldest son, at the time of his birth, is by placing on his head a circle or coronet, and putting a gold ring on his finger, and placing in his hand a rod of gold, and after kissing his said eldest son, Henry, and giving him a charter, and being so invested was, by his uncle, the duke of York, conducted to his seat in parliament, appointed for the principality.
