[1] In this template, the Landed Baronage precedes the Peerage Orders, when sitting in Court in their own lands. Otherwise they are frequently ordered after the Peerage Orders and ahead of Grants of Arms. [2] In this template, the Landed Baronage follows the Peerage Orders, when not sitting in Court in their own lands. [3] In this template, “recognition” means Royal acknowledgement of an individual (or group) with a singular Award or companionship in an Order, with possible right to bear arms by Award or Grant.
