John Debrett was a prolific English writer and compiler of reference works. His Peerage of the United Kingdom is a culturually important, painstaking record of the complex story of British titles, having proved indispensable to understanding the interrelationships, intermarriages and inheritances that have shaped the British aristocracy. It reads rather like a nobility studbook!
