How do you get lorded by her majesty Queen Elizabeth VII?

Question

?

Answer 1

There has only been two Queen Elizabeth throughout the entire English/British history. Queen Elizabeth VII simply does not exist! If you meant Queen Elizabeth II (the second) the current British monarch, she only honors "knighthood" to commoners. In the United Kingdom, knighthood has become a symbolic title of honor given to a more diverse class of people. Knighthood is designated by the title "Sir" or "Dame" for females. There are technically differing levels of knighthood, but in practice these are even more symbolic than the title itself today and thus only express the greatness of the recipient's achievements in the eyes of the Crown.

Five ranks of peer exist in the UK, namely Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, and Baron, all male peers except dukes use the style "Lord X". The title "Lord" also applies by courtesy to certain of their children, e.g. the younger sons of dukes and marquesses can use the style "Lord (firstname) (lastname)". The style "Lord" are only reserved for aristocrat families, not for commoners.

Queen Elizabeth the seventh?  Not for a loong loong time.

Let's see, there were 350 years or so between the death of

Queen Elizabeth the first and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the second...so...figuring about the same amount of time per Elizabeth, probably in about 1850 years or so.  Give or take a century.

Anybody in the UK can make a recommendation for a British national to receive an honour.

The aim is to ensure that the large numbers of people not in the public eye who give valuable service are recognised.

They could be charity volunteers, members of the emergency services or Armed Forces, industrial pioneers or specialists in various professions.

While The Queen is 'fountain of honour' in the United Kingdom, honours are actually awarded on the advice of the Cabinet Office.

For this reason, honours nominations are handled not by Buckingham Palace but by the Ceremonial Secretariat, part of the Cabinet Office.

In order to nominate someone, you should obtain a copy of the nominations form and read the guidance notes.

These can be downloaded and printed off from the Honours website of the Cabinet Office, or obtained through writing, telephoning or emailing the Cabinet Office for paper copies.

You can contact the Cabinet Office Ceremonial Secretariat at:

DEVELOPMENT OF THE HONOURS SYSTEM

The origin of the Sovereign as the 'fountain of honour' is an ancient one.

Throughout history, monarchs realised the value and necessity of rewarding gallantry in battle and loyal service, often by awarding gifts of land or money, or some sort of title or sign of merit as a mark of distinction.

This was particularly the case when the first sovereign of a new dynasty succeeded to or took the throne and therefore needed to ensure that their supporters' loyalty was rewarded.

After the Norman Conquest in 1066, William I granted land to his allies in exchange for continuing loyalty and military service. For example, he created feudal earldoms to protect the English border against Welsh raids.

Occasionally, land or titles were granted by a king (for example Charles II) in recognition of his illegitimate children, who could not succeed to the throne.



After medieval times, gifts of land, money or weapons which were given as rewards for political or personal service, or help in battle, were replaced by the awarding of knighthood, insignia of Orders of chivalry and other honours.

From the reign of Richard II onward, gifts of gold or silver chains to be worn round the neck as a reward for loyal service were frequently given. Chains of honour were given to certain officers of the crown as a special mark of distinction. Known as 'collars of the King's Livery', such chains were worn as pledges of loyalty.

Until the beginning of the nineteenth century, appointment to the Orders of chivalry in England was restricted to members of the aristocracy and high-ranking military figures. From that period onward, the appointments were drawn from wider backgrounds.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as Parliament's legislative role grew and government by a Cabinet of ministers headed by the Prime Minister evolved, the method of selecting people for honours also changed.

As with the Sovereign's other public functions, the king or queen conferred honours on the advice of their ministers, rather than on their own Royal initiative. "

Earning a peerage is an entirely different thing than an honor.You can visit http://www.lordsappointments.gov.uk/ for clarification. Being made a life peer(baron,viscount,earl,marquess,duke) is a very rare happening these days.Your family would have to be exceptional...you would have to do something very well,like the late,great thespian,Laurence Olivier,who is considered one of the best actors of all time.

You can only be knighted if you are in Britain and then only if the Queen chooses to knight you for a good deed or something. Im not sure about benig Lorded. I thought you had to be in Parlament and in someway related to the royal family Like Lady Dianna Spencer before she married Charles
