peeresses are known from an early period; however, most of them were women to whom a peerage had passed as an inheritance. It was very rare for a woman to be created a peeress before the 17th century. Peeresses, whether by creation or inheritance, did not take seats in the House of Lords

.

Created peeresses fall into the following categories:
  • Created for merit or achievement
  • Having a father who was a peer, but who under the terms of the peerage could not pass the peerage to his daughter. Such an event could create the anomalous situation of commoners holding important lands and estates traditionally associated with lordship.
  • Closely connected to a reigning monarch (including many royal mistresses)
  • Created to honor a relative, including:
    • As a posthumous honor for a dead husband, often one who would have received a peerage if he had not died
    • To honor a husband who was living, but could not or would not accept a peerage in his own right
    • To confer nobility upon the peeress's children, again often in recognition of the achievement of a husband


The peerages are listed chronologically, divided by the monarch who created them.
