Who decides to grant a Baronetcy? (early 1800s) Why would you be selected to receive a Baronetcy?(early 1800s). If a Baronet dies without issue and the title is passed to 'a kinsman', is there a prescribed method for deciding which kinsman, or is it the nearest male relative? Olde Crone |

I only know the answer to the very very last bit is No (it's not necessarily the nearest male relative)!! Merry |
