?The five British peerage ranks in order of seniority are duke,
marquess, earl, viscount and baron.?

?Peer's wife and children are granted the use of certain titles,
depending upon the rank of  the peer.?

?Eldest sons (heirs) of earls, marquesses, and dukes are allowed to
adopt their father's next-highest title as a courtesy, which they use
in every way as if it were a "real" peerage?
