That was back then. The titles actually denoted where the person lived or how close he was to the King and usually meant he was a person of note, position or importance.
Buying a title today is easy. Do an internet search for "buy a title" and there you have it. As Beatirx Fan stated, the titles of the peerage cannot be bought and from what I've seen, its a waste of money. Sure you can call yourself "Lord" or "Lady" or whatever and flash a piece of paper to impress your friends but in actuality, the title is an empty one. Why anyone would do this is beyond me and makes me think some folks have more money than brains. Its like BF said, a name. Look at Queen Latifah or Prince or Burger King. The names try and make you think of something that's the top of the heap but in the end, its just a name.
There was a reality type program years back on TV where 12 girls competed in Britain and the winner won a "title" and a certain cash award. It had nothing to do with the British nobility, peerage or aristocracy but just dangling something "impressive".
