| | | | introductions: Encyclopedia II - Privilege of Peerage - Privilege of Peerage The Privilege of Peerage extends to all temporal peers and peeresses regardless of their position in relation to the House of Lords; Scottish and Irish peers, therefore, have the Privilege of Peerage.

| | | | introductions: Encyclopedia II - Privilege of Peerage - Coats of Arms Peers are generally entitled to use certain heraldic devices. Atop the arms, a peer may display a coronet. Dukes were the first individuals authorised to wear coronets. Marquesses acquired coronets in the fifteenth century, earls in the sixteenth and viscounts and barons in the seventeenth.

| | | | introductions: Encyclopedia II - Privilege of Peerage - Precedence Peers are entitled to a special precedence because of their ranks. Wives and children of peers are also entitled to a special precedence because of their station.
The Sovereign may, as fount of honour, vary the precedence of the peers or of any other people. For example, Elizabeth II granted her husband, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, precedence immediately following her; otherwise, he would have ranked along with the other dukes of the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

| | | | introductions: Encyclopedia II - Introduction House of Lords - Introduced Peers Ceremonial introductions were originally used for all new peers. However, in 1663, the House of Lords decided that peers who inherited a title be not introduced.

Thus, at present, all new peers are introduced.
Lords Spiritual (twenty-six clergymen of the Church of England who sit in the House of Lords) are also introduced, though by a different ceremony, upon appointment. Also, if a Lord Spiritual is "tr ...
