Shouldn't this be at Conrad Russell, 5th Earl Russell? Proteus (Talk) 19:37, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

Well, like his father, he's probably better known just by his given name, so I'd say to keep him here. john k 20:06, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

How famous is he as a historian? I've only ever heard of him in political contexts (and thus I only know him as "the Earl Russell"), but I'm not a historian (well, not a modern historian at any rate). Proteus (Talk) 20:15, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

He's one of the most famous historians of 17th century Britain, I'd say. Perhaps the most famous living one, given that Hugh Trevor-Roper and Christopher Hill are now dead. At any rate, Emsworth, couldn't you have discussed this before moving it? john k 14:58, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 6th Earl Russell

I though that hereditary titles had been abolished now? Dunc|☺ 20:19, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

No, only the right of (most) hereditary peers to sit in the House of Lords. --rbrwr^± 21:28, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lib Dems website link

We should really leave the link to the page at the lib dems site as it is - r.i.p. Even if NULL / NULL is a bit strange to read. -- .~.
