Which title was Petty granted as part of his knighthood?

  • Lord Petty

  • Sir Petty

  • Baron Petty

  • Duke Petty

Answer

Sir Petty received the title "Knight Bachelor" as part of his knighthood, an honorary distinction bestowed upon individuals for their outstanding achievements or services to society. This title is distinct from other knighthoods such as those associated with specific orders, and it recognizes Petty's contributions in his field without conferring noble status or membership in a knightly order.
