King James disposing of Baronetcies, 1897. Creator: John Leech
King James disposing of Baronetcies, 1897. The practice of awarding baronetcies (hereditary honours) was used by King James I of England (1566-1625) in 1611 as a means of raising funds. Gentlemen of good birth with an income of at least £ 1, 000 a year were required to pay for the upkeep of thirty soldiers for three years, amounting to £ 1, 095, in return for the honour. From " The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, with satirical illustrations by John Leech. [Bradbury, Agnew & Co, London, 1897]
