Courtesy (United Kingdom)

-

A courtesy title - in the British heraldry a term meaning a title used on a daily basis for an aristocrat formally without a title, but being in the first place in the queue for such dignity. In the case of families with very high titles (princes in particular), this rule could also be extended to successors. Old aristocrat families gradually rose up the heraldic ladder, getting higher and higher titles: the baron first, then the viscount and the count, the marquis and the prince. In such families, the head of the family carried the highest title, while her successor (usually, but not necessarily, the eldest son) used the title of lower rank on the basis of courtesy. For example, the princes of Argyll before they were crowned by the royal dignitaries were called Marquesses of Lorne and earlier Counts of Campbell. Therefore, the first person in the queue to the title of Prince Argyll had the right to use the polite title of the Marquess of Lorne (see, for example, John Campbell, 9th Prince Argyll - most of his life known as Lorne). The second in the queue was Count Campbell.

The title was mostly prestige and social, but he did not give the "righteous" nobility privileges, especially seats in the House of Lords. On the other hand, possession of it did not prevent the position of the gentry from being excluded, for example from a member of the House of Commons.
