Vcte stands for Viscount
From highest rank to lowest rank: # Duke # Marquess # Earl # Viscount # Baron The are ranks of Gentry that include Knight and Baronet, but they are not considered "Peerage", therefore, not nobility under British law.

The Complete Peerage was created in 1887.
No such rank in the Army.
The countess ranks higher than the viscountess in the British peerage system. A countess is the wife of a count or earl, while a viscountess is the wife of a viscount. Therefore, in terms of noble titles and hierarchy, the countess holds a more elevated position than the viscountess.
Hereditary Peerage Association was created in 2002.
The wife of a marquess is called a marchioness. This title is used in the British peerage system and ranks below a duchess and above a countess. A marchioness typically holds her title through marriage to a marquess.
peerage
A Duke is the highest rank in the British Peerage. See the related question link below.
Baron It should be noted also that: In Scotland, a Baron is called a Lord of Parliament There are five categories of British peerage and they have a hierarchy themselves: 1. Peerage of England 2. Peerage of Scotland 3. Peerage of Ireland 4. Peerage of Great Britain 5. Peerage of United Kingdom Also peerages are ranked based on creation date. Therefore a Baron of the United Kingdom is a lower grade than a Baron of England, and the lower of two Baronies of the United Kingdom would be the one created most recently. Hope that edit helps!
