British Nobility : What are the different titles, what is their meaning  and which are more/less important

(i.e.: Dukes, Earls, Barons, etc.)

It's been bugging me for a while. I guess we don't learn this at school from where I'm from. Thanks in advance!

Baron is the lowest rank in the British Peerage; a baron holds a barony.

An Earl (who holds an Earldom) is a higher rank than Baron. It's the equivalent of Count in many other systems of Peerage.

A Duke (Duchy) is the highest title of the British Peerage, second only to the monarch.

There's also a few Viscounts, which are between a Baron and an Earl, and ~~Marquees~~ Marquesses, which are between an Earl and a Duke.
