Talk:John Erskine, 22nd Earl of Mar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] John Campbell
Mar's opponent at Sheriffmuir was John Campbell, the second Duke of Argyll, not his brother, Archbald. Rcpaterson 02:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
22nd Earl? I don't think so. The thing is, the accepted numbering of a peerage is taken from the creation which the current peer holds. Where the title had been forfeited and re-issued to others does not count. It is from the first holder of the latest creation that you commence the count. David Lauder 20:36, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
