Baronete e Barão

Caros,

Gostaria de saber se alguém pode explicar-me o significado de "Baronete" e que relação tem o com título de Barão. Será o mesmo. Porque no Reino Unido existe o título de "Baron" e o de "Baronete".

Penso que só existe este tratamento em Inglaterra e que é hereditário. Um caso é o de Henrique Anderson, criado "baronet" pelo Rei Carlos I em 1643.

Os meus cumprimentos,

Caro Duarte Vilardebó Loureiro.

Do "Debrett's Peerage":

"BARONETS: The Hereditary Dignity of Baronet must not he confused with the ancient title of Banneret or Knight Banneret. The circumstance or lhe discovery by Sir Robert Cotton, an eminelnt heraldic antiquary. Of Letters Patent of the 13th Edward III, conferring the dignity of baronet on William de Ia Pole and his heirs, in return for a sum of money of which the King and his army stood greatly in need is said to have decided King James I on revivlng this rank and constituting it an hereditary dignity. In his “History of the Baronetage" the late Col. Francis W. Pixley, F.S.A., mentioned that "other Baronetcies were similarly created and were for some time numerous, particularly in Ireland, but had not been regularly hereditary, and long before the reign of James I had become practically unknown."
The existing Baronetage of England rests on three letters patent under the Great Seal, and date.from 1611, in which year James I established the hereditary dignity, state, and degree of Baronet, with style and title and precedency for each, his wife and children, at first limiting to 200 the number of Baronets of England to exist at one time and ordaining that no degree, order, name, title, dignity, or state under lhe degree, dignity, or state of Barons of England should ever be created superior or equal to the degree of and dignity of Baronet; the second letter patent gave a newly defined precedency, at lhe same time undertaking that no person or persons beneath the degree of Lords of Parliament - except those enumerated - should ever have place, precedence, or pre-eminence over or equal to Baronet, and that no person or persons should have or take place between Baronet and lhe younger sons of Viscounts and Barons, while there was also added permission for lhe eldest sons of Baronets to claim lhe honour of Knighthood on coming of age lhe right to charge their Armorial Bearings wlth a canton or inscutcheon of the arms of Uister - argent a sinister hand couped at lhe wrist and erected gules. (commonly known as lhe Bloody Hand, or Badge of Ulster)"

O "scanner" deixou alguns erros de fácil detecção.
As minhas desculpas.

Caro J. de Castro e Mello Trovisqueira,

Muito obrigado pela informação. Arranjei através de um site as seguintes definições de "banneret" e de "baronet":

ban·ner·et2 (băn'er-ĭt, -e-rĕt')
n.
A feudal knight ranking between a knight bachelor and a baron, who was entitled to lead men into battle under his own standard.

[Middle English baneret, from Old French, from baniere, banner. See banner.]

a knight honored for valor; entitled to display a square banner and to hold higher command
Synonyms: knight banneret, knight of the square flag

bar·on·et (băr'e-nĭt, băr'e-nĕt')
n.
A man holding a British hereditary title of honor reserved for commoners, ranking immediately below the barons and above all orders of knighthood except the Garter.
(Abbr. Bart. or Bt.) Used as the title for such a man.
[Middle English, diminutive of baron, baron. See baron.]




baronet
A baronet (traditional abbreviation Bart, modern abbreviation Bt) is the holder of a title, similar to a knighthood except that it is hereditary, known as a baronetcy. The title was introduced by James I of England in 1611 to raise funds. It is an hereditary honour, but it does not amount to a peerage. Note that the title of baronet should not be confused with a baron.

Baronets use the title "Sir" before their name, but whereas all other knighthoods apply to an individual only, a baronetcy is hereditary. The eldest son of a baronet who is born in wedlock is entitled to accede to the baronetcy upon the death of his father. With a few exceptions, baronetcies can only be inherited by, or inherited through, males.

Originally Baronets also had other rights, including the right to have their eldest son knighted on his 21st birthday. However, beginning in the reign of George IV these rights have been gradually revoked, on the grounds that sovereigns should not be bound by acts made by their predecessors.

It is now rare for new baronetcies (like all hereditary titles) to be created, but one notable recent example is that of the late Sir Denis Thatcher, the husband of former Prime Minister (and now baroness) Margaret Thatcher. Upon his death in 2003, their eldest son became the 2nd Baronet, Sir Mark Thatcher.

Baronet is not a peerage title and does not disqualify the holder from standing for election to the British House of Commons. However since 1999 neither do hereditary peerages, so the distinction has become historical. A number of Baronets were returned to the House of Commons in the 2001 General Election. A full list of British Baronets can be found in the book Burke's Peerage and Baronetage.

Cumprimentos,


Duarte Vilardebó Loureiro
