Lord Titles and Lady Titles

Since 1998, the titles Lord and Lady have been a "bestseller" – simply because they are so recognisable.

The Titles Lord and Lady are steeped in rich heritage and tradition. And when you hear them, images of wealth, privilege and elite status springs to mind.

How to Become a Lord or Lady

Lord literally means, "a Ruler, a Sovereign or a Master. One possessing supreme power, a Feudal Superior and the holder of a Manor."

Lady is the female equivalent. It can be used by an unmarried woman in her own right, or by the wife of a man with the title: Lord, Baron or Sir.

And whilst Lordships and Ladyships have been around for centuries, the title has been given a modern edge thanks to popular TV shows such as ITV's Downton Abbey and Lord Sugar's "The Apprentice".

The UK Government provides basic background information and rights on Lord/Lady of the Manor titles.

It is also possible to become a Lord or Lady of the Glen when you buy a piece of land in Scotland.

As a reminder, a presumed title is NOT the same as a "title of nobility". The latter is either inherited or bestowed on an individual by the monarch.

Lord/Lady of the Manor titles usually sell for upwards of £20,000 and Manorial Titles have a catalogue.

Becoming a Lord or Lady of the Glen is exclusively associated with souvenir plots of land available from Highland Titles.
