Official Roll Of The Baronetage
The Official Roll of the Baronetage is an official list of baronets kept by the Lord Chancellor; an abridged version is published online by the Standing Council of the Baronetage. Any person who wishes to claim succession to a baronetcy must produce the necessary proof of succession; there are many heirs to baronetcies who have not done so. As of January 2020, there are 1,245 baronetcies on the official roll (including about 200 with no incumbent because succession is dormant or unproven); of these 142 are of England, 60 of Ireland, 116 of Scotland, 125 of Great Britain and 802 of the United Kingdom. Of the current baronets, 254 are also peers. The oldest baronetage by date of creation (the Premier Baronet) is Sir Nicholas Bacon, 14th Baronet of Redgrave whose title was created in 1611.

Heir Apparent
An heir apparent, often shortened to heir, is a person who is first in an order of succession and cannot be displaced from inheriting by the birth of another person; a person who is first in the order of succession but can be displaced by the birth of a more eligible heir is known as heir presumptive. Today these terms most commonly describe heirs to hereditary titles (e.g. titles of nobility) or offices, especially when only inheritable by a single person. Most monarchies refer to the heir apparent of their thrones with the descriptive term of ''crown prince'' or ''crown princess'', but they may also be accorded with a more specific substantive title: such as Prince of Orange in the Netherlands, Duke of Brabant in Belgium, Prince of Asturias in Spain (also granted to heirs presumptive), or the Prince of Wales in the United Kingdom; former titles include Dauphin in the Kingdom of France, and Tsesarevich in Imperial Russia. The term is also used metaphorically to indicate a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
