earl

Read a random definition: property control trust

A quick definition of earl:

An earl is a fancy title that some people in England have. It used to be the highest title, but now it's the third highest. It's like being a count in France or a graf in Germany. The title is really old and comes from the Saxons. It used to come with special rights, but now it just means you're fancy and you get to be in the House of Lords.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An earl is a title of nobility in England, which used to be the highest but is now the third highest. It is between a marquis and a viscount. This title is the oldest in the English peerage and corresponds to the French comte and the German graf. Originally, it was given by the Saxons and William the Conqueror made it hereditary. Nowadays, it only confers nobility and a hereditary seat in the House of Lords, without any territorial, private, or judicial rights.

Example: The Earl of Wessex is a member of the British royal family and the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II. He was given the title of Earl when he got married in 1999.

Explanation: This example shows how the title of earl is used in modern times and how it is given to members of the royal family as a sign of nobility and prestige. The Earl of Wessex is not a ruler or a landowner, but he has a hereditary seat in the House of Lords and is considered a nobleman.
