Talk:Baron Brabourne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Courtesey title for 8th Baron's son?

Ok. So, Lord Romsey is a subsiduary title of Earl Mountbatten of Burma, so was used by the Countess's heir, who is now the 8th Baron Brabourne.

Does this courtesy title now devolve on the 8th Baron's heir apparent, (Hon. Nicholas Knatchbull)? Articles have been edited so.

If so what rules are being followed here? I didn't know that courtesy titles 'skipped' a generation if the real heir apparent has a real title already. Courtesy title doesn't seem to mention this case. Morwen - Talk 21:13, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

No, the wrong rules, and they don't. Someone's confused. Proteus (Talk) 18:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
