Feudal earldom : ウィキペディア英語版 | Feudal earldom A feudal earldom is a Scottish feudal title that is held ''en baroneum'', which means that its holder, who is called a feudal earl, is also always a feudal baron. A feudal earldom is an ancient title of nobility in Scotland. The holder may or may not be a Lord of Regality, which meant that the holder was appointed by the Crown and had the power of "pit and gallows", meaning the power to authorise the death sentence. A feudal earl ranks above a feudal lord and a feudal baron (being a feudal baron of a higher degree), but below a lord of parliament which is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. Feudal earldoms are very rare.〔http://www.baronage.co.uk/2003a/fbandml.pdf〕 A peer is invariably addressed as 'Lord Placename' or 'Lord Such-and-so', whilst those holding a feudal earldom are addressed 'Earl of Placename' or 'Baron of Placename'. Scottish titles, in order of precedence, are as follows: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Lord, Baronet, Knight, feudal Baron, Clan Chief, Esquire/Gentleman. Wallace states that "Lordships, Earldoms, Marquisates and Dukedoms differ only in name from Baronies" but continues "one whose property was erected into a Lordship ranked before a simple Baron" and "A person to whom an Earldom belonged, would be superior to a person who had no more than a lordship ... One, whose lands were incorporated into a Marquisate, was superior to both ... A man, who owned a fief elevated into a Dukedom, was exhaulted above all three." 〔Ancient Peerages, 2nd Edition, Edinburgh, 1785, pp 127-130〕 However, Lord Stair states that Lordships or Earldoms are "but more noble titles of a Barony".〔Institutes, II.3.45〕 ==Modern status== In 2010 the Lord Lyon King of Arms issued an interlocutor holding that the title "feudal earl" cannot be recognised, and has no basis in either law or history.
