The Baronetage

The Baronetage refers to a hereditary title in the British honors system, ranking below a baron but above a knight. Established in the early 17th century, a baronet is someone who has been granted the title of "Baronet," typically as a reward for service or loyalty to the Crown. Unlike other titles, baronets can pass their title to their descendants. The Baronetage is recorded in a list known as the "Baronetage of England," which helps track the holders of these titles and their lineages. Baronets may use the prefix "Sir" before their name, signifying their status.
