List of baronies in the peerages of Britain and Ireland
The peerage is the collective term for all those holding titles of nobility of all degrees. The term superseded the term "baronage" used of the feudal era.

British Isles [edit]
Hereditary baronies [edit]
The hereditary Baronies fall into five classes:
- List of baronies in the Peerage of England
- List of Lordships of Parliament (in the Peerage of Scotland)
- List of baronies in the Peerage of Great Britain
- List of baronies in the Peerage of Ireland
- List of hereditary baronies in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
These have precedence in the order named, except that Baronies of Ireland created after 1 January 1801 (the date of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland) yield to earlier-created Baronies of the United Kingdom.
Life baronies [edit]
The life Baronies fall into two classes:
- List of Life Peerages (created under the Life Peerages Act 1958):
- List of Law Life Peerages (created under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876)
All life Baronies are in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, and rank amongst hereditary Baronies in that Peerage (and each other) by date of creation.
Hereditary feudal baronies [edit]
These are distinct from the titles above, created by writ or patent, and were constituents of the now defunct feudal baronage and are not therefore constituents of the modern, post-feudal peerage:
