Baronetage of the United Kingdom

The Baronetage of the United Kingdom refers to the rank of baronet, a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown. It is one of the lowest ranks in the British aristocracy, placed below barons and above knights. Baronets typically receive a hereditary title that allows them to pass it on to their heirs. The title does not confer the same privileges as peerage, such as a seat in the House of Lords. The Baronetage is an official listing of all established baronets and their details, often regarded as a recognition of service or loyalty to the Crown.
