Inhaltsangabe

Behind every noble name lies a web of power, privilege and memory. Every title tells a story. In The English Peerage; Or, A View Of The Ancient And Present State Of The English Nobility (Volume I), Charles Catton presents a landmark british peerage reference that captures the structure and character of 18th century English aristocracy at its height. Combining careful genealogy with vivid historical context, this authoritative genealogical reference book traces families, successions and alliances, illuminating english nobility history, aristocracy and titles, and the intricate bonds between land, lineage and loyalty. Drawing on contemporary records of Georgian era England, Catton arranges the great houses of the realm with an eye for both accuracy and character, creating a rich genealogy research resource for librarians, scholars and curious general readers alike. Those intrigued by british heraldry and lineage, and students of British history exploring how rank, privilege and obligation shaped the nation, will find an essential companion to later authorities. Burkes Peerage fans and Debretts Peerage readers gain an earlier, revealing window into the same enduring world of ceremony, influence and inherited power, making this volume a historical nonfiction classic as well as a rewarding fireside read. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
