Talk:Earl De La Warr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Courtesy Title of heir

Is the courtesy title Viscount Cantelupe or Baron Buckhurst? The 9th Earl, born after his father inherited the title, was often called "Buck De La Warr" (e.g. in the diaries of his cousin-in-law Harold Nicolson), clearly after Buckhurst, but the Cantelupe title is a century older.

The courtesy title is indeed Lord Buckhurst. -- Emsworth 17:10, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Abeyance

The fact that two major titles, and therefore the governance of at least three manors, were allowed to remain in limbo for nearly two decades suggests that abeyance, at least in this instance, is not wholly a fiction of the 17th or 18th centurty rulemakers. Robert A West 06:09, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
