A cornerstone of British genealogical and heraldic scholarship, Debrett's Baronetage, Knightage & Companionage stands as the definitive annual record of the United Kingdom's titled and honoured classes. The 1965 edition presents a comprehensive and meticulously compiled register of baronets, knights, and companions across all orders of chivalry, illustrated throughout with full armorial bearings that bring each entry to vivid heraldic life. This authoritative volume chronicles the lineages, honours, and official distinctions of Britain's most distinguished individuals, serving as an indispensable reference for historians, genealogists, and anyone with a serious interest in the British honours system. First published in 1769, Debrett's has for centuries been regarded as the gold standard of peerage and knightage reference, a publication whose very name is synonymous with British aristocratic tradition and social distinction. The 1965 edition captures a fascinating moment in post-war Britain, documenting the continuity of ancient institutions against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Written with the precision and authority that has defined the Debrett's imprint for over two hundred years, this volume remains a vital primary source for those seeking to understand the social and ceremonial fabric of mid-twentieth-century Britain — and leaves the reader with an enduring appreciation for the extraordinary depth of the country's chivalric heritage.
