United Kingdom is the fourth album by American Music Club. It was recorded primarily for the UK, where the band had a larger following than in their native USA, and consists of a mixture of studio and live tracks. The LP was produced by Tom Mallon who also produced the band's previous three LPs, The Restless Stranger, Engine and California. United Kingdom contained the song "Kathleen", the most obvious of many that Mark Eitzel has composed about his long-term muse, Kathleen Burns.
The last non-royal dukedom was created in 1900, and the last marquessate in 1936. Creation of the remaining ranks mostly ceased once Harold Wilson's Labour government took office in 1964, and only four non-royal hereditary peerages have been created since then. These were:
Until the House of Lords Act 1999 was passed, all peers of the United Kingdom were automatically members of the House of Lords. However, from that date, most of the hereditary peers ceased to be members as part of Parliamentary reform, whereas the life peers retained their seats. All hereditary peers of the first creation (i.e., those for whom a peerage was originally created, as opposed to those who inherited a peerage from an ancestor), and all surviving hereditary peers who had served as Leader of the House of Lords were offered a life peerage in order to allow them to sit in the House should they so choose.
The period began with the newly formed United Kingdom defeating the French Empire in 1814 in the Napoleonic Wars. As a direct result of this, the British Empire became the foremost world power for the next century. Great Britain and the northeast of Ireland industrialised rapidly, whereas the rest of Ireland did not, deepening economic and social disparities between them. A devastating famine, exacerbated by government inaction in the mid-19th century, led to demographic collapse in much of Ireland, and increased calls for Irish land reform and the devolution of executive power. During and after the Great War, the rise of Irish nationalism and physical force republicanism eventually culminated in the Irish War of Independence, and in 1922 the partition of Ireland between the newly founded Irish Free State and the northeast, which opted to remain part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland.
A comedic group, known as the World Showcase Players, used to perform humorous and interactive versions of "King Arthur and the Holy Grail" and "Romeo and Juliet" (renamed "Romeo and Edna").

Wine from the United Kingdom is generally classified as either English wine or Welsh wine, with reference to England or Wales as its respective origin.
The term British wine is used for fermented grape juice or concentrate that can originate from anywhere in the world.
Traditionally seen as struggling with an unhelpfully cold climate, the English and Welsh wine industry has been helped by the warmer British summers over recent years and it is speculated that global warming may encourage major growth in the future.
The United Kingdom is a major consumer, but only a very minor producer of wine, with English and Welsh wine sales combined accounting for just 1% of the domestic market.
In recent years, English sparkling wine has started to emerge as the UK wine style receiving the most attention. Theale Vineyard Sparkling Chardonnay 2003 beat off stiff competition from fine Champagnes and top sparkling wines to make it into the world’s Top Ten Sparkling Wine at the world’s only dedicated sparkling wine competition, French-based Effervescents du Monde (sparkling wines of the world) 2007.

The Dukes Who Own The United Kingdom (Documentary)
This full-length documentary explores, in-depth, the dukes of the United Kingdom who very often have more wealth than the royal family.
A Duke, in the hierarchy of nobility, is of the highest rank, second only to the monarch and the Dukes of today navigate a world where their influence is exerted subtly, yet their presence in the socio-economic landscape of the United Kingdom is undeniable.

In 2009, the Brits finally had enough of being lorded over by aristocracy. The government gave the hereditary peerage the chop, evicting them from those hallowed halls - The House of Lords. Add to that the high cost of living in a stately home, and your lord and ladyship days were numbered. But as history has shown us, you can't keep a true, blue blood down. The landed gentry were ready for one last battle to remain relevant.
This story contains scenes of upper class privilege and moments of sublime eccentricity.

Falkirk 1298 Commemoration - A Souvenir
The Battle of Falkirk took place on 22nd July 1298 and was a significant loss for the Scots under William Wallace. His comrade Sir John de Graham, or Graeme, died in the battle and is buried at Trinity church in Falkirk.
The De Graeme Society organise an annual commemoration of the battle and the brave Scots who gave their lives defending our freedom.
This year's event, whilst a moving occasion, was also a family friendly day out with medieval market, battle re-enactments, performers, a town Crier and all sorts of other activities to engage, entertain and educate Scots in our own history.

Peerage of the United Kingdom
The Peerage of the United Kingdom and British Empire comprises most peerages created in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after the Act of Union in 1801, when it replaced the Peerage of Great Britain. New peers continued to be created in the Peerage of Ireland until 1898 (the last creation being Baron Curzon).

1:05:04 The Dukes of Westminster: The “Old Money” British Family That Owns Half Of London
----------------------------------------------------
Exploring the prestigious and influential “old money” families of Britain, this documentary delves into the lives and legacies of some of the most storied aristocratic dynasties.
The documentary begins with the Dukes of Devonshire, a family whose political clout and heritage have positioned them as a cornerstone of Britain's aristocracy.
Their story is a fascinating blend of power, politics, and tradition, reflecting the enduring influence of Britain's noble families.
Next, the documentary turns to the Dukes of Buccleuch, a family renowned for their extensive landholdings in Scotland.
Their wealth and status are emblematic of the historical and ongoing influence of aristocratic families in the United Kingdom.
It explores their history, current interests, and the role they play in modern Scotland.
The journey continues with the Dukes of Northumberland, a family synonymous with the history and ownership of large parts of Northern England.
Their story is intertwined with the region's history, reflecting centuries of influence and stewardship over the lands and communities they oversee.
Finally, the documentary focuses on the Dukes of Westminster, a family whose name is synonymous with immense wealth and real estate holdings, particularly in London.
Owning significant parts of one of the world's most influential cities, their story is a remarkable example of how “old money” aristocracy continues to shape modern urban landscapes.
This exploration not only delves into the history and impact of these storied families but also offers insights into the evolution of “old money” in Britain and its lasting impact on the country's social, political, and economic fabric.

The Battle of Falkirk took place on 22nd July 1298 and was a significant loss for the Scots under William Wallace. His comrade Sir John de Graham, or Graeme, died in the battle and is buried at Trinity church in Falkirk.
The De Graeme Society organise an annual commemoration of the battle and the brave Scots who gave their lives defending our freedom.
This year's event, whilst a moving occasion, was also a family friendly day out with medieval market, battle re-enactments, performers, a town Crier and all sorts of other activities to engage, entertain and educate Scots in our own history.
Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene went along to Falkirk and this is their souvenir of the day.

New peers continued to be created in the Peerage of Ireland until 1898 (the last creation being Baron Curzon).

Who gets to be a Prince or Princess? What does it mean to be a Duke or Duchess? Which noble titles are ranked higher? Why are Kate and Meghan duchesses when they’re married to Princes? Why are the Queen’s eldest children called the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal? And why is the wife of an Earl a Countess? Let's take a look at the history and modern realities of Britain’s royal and noble ranks and titles:
King & Queen,
Prince & Princess
, Duke & Duchess
, Marquess & Marchioness
, Earl & Countess,

This full-length documentary explores, in-depth, the dukes of the United Kingdom who very often have more wealth than the royal family.
A Duke, in the hierarchy of nobility, is of the highest rank, second only to the monarch and the Dukes of today navigate a world where their influence is exerted subtly, yet their presence in the socio-economic landscape of the United Kingdom is undeniable.

----------------------------------------------------
Exploring the prestigious and influential “old money” families of Britain, this documentary delves into the lives and legacies of some of the most storied aristocratic dynasties.
The documentary begins with the Dukes of Devonshire, a family whose political clout and heritage have positioned them as a cornerstone of Britain's aristocracy.
Their story is a fascinating blend of power, politics, and tradition, reflecting the enduring influence of Britain's noble families.
Next, the documentary turns to the Dukes of Buccleuch, a family renowned for their extensive landholdings in Scotland.
Their wealth and status are emblematic of the historical and ongoing influence of aristocratic families in the United Kingdom.
It explores their history, current interests, and the role they play in modern Scotland.
The journey continues with the Dukes of Northumberland, a family synonymous with the history and ownership of large parts of Northern England.
Their story is intertwined with the region's history, reflecting centuries of influence and stewardship over the lands and communities they oversee.
Finally, the documentary focuses on the Dukes of Westminster, a family whose name is synonymous with immense wealth and real estate holdings, particularly in London.
Owning significant parts of one of the world's most influential cities, their story is a remarkable example of how “old money” aristocracy continues to shape modern urban landscapes.
This exploration not only delves into the history and impact of these storied families but also offers insights into the evolution of “old money” in Britain and its lasting impact on the country's social, political, and economic fabric.
Have you ever wondered what a duke is exactly? Do they have land associated with their title? How about a Marquess, Earl, Viscount or Baron.
In this video I explain the UK peerage system and the different ranks, the lands associated with these titles and delve into the duke of Lancaster.

In 2009, the Brits finally had enough of being lorded over by aristocracy. The government gave the hereditary peerage the chop, evicting them from those hallowed halls - The House of Lords. Add to that the high cost of living in a stately home, and your lord and ladyship days were numbered. But as history has shown us, you can't keep a true, blue blood down. The landed gentry were ready for one last battle to remain relevant.
This story contains scenes of upper class privilege and moments of sublime eccentricity.
