Mona Fitzalan-Howard, 11th Baroness Beaumont
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mona Josephine Tempest Fitzalan-Howard, neé Stapleton, 11th Baroness Beaumont, Baroness Howard of Glossop, OBE (1 August 1894 – 31 August 1971) was a British peeress.
Mona was the eldest of two daughters of Miles Stapleton, 10th Baron Beaumont and his wife, Mary. When her father accidentally shot and killed himself in 1895, his title became abeyant between Mona and her younger sister, Ivy. Almost a year later, Queen Victoria terminated the abeyance in the two year old's favour and Mona became the 11th Baroness Beaumont.
On 5 September 1914, she married the 3rd Baron Howard of Glossop (thus also becoming Baroness Howard of Glossop) and they had eight children:
- Hon. Miles Francis, later 17th Duke of Norfolk (1915-2002)
- Hon. Michael (1916-2007)
- Hon. Mariegold Magdalene (1919-1992), married Jerrie Jamieson, Esq. (son of Sir Archibald Jamieson)
- Hon. Martin (1922-2003)
- Hon. Miriam (1924-1996), married Lt. - Cdr. Peregrine Hubbard and had issue.
- Hon. Miranda Mary (b. 1927), married Hon. Christopher Emmett (son of the Baroness Emmet of Amberley).
- Hon. Mirabel Magdalene (b. 1931), married Sir David Victor Kelly and has issue.
- Hon. Mark (b. 1934)
In 1946, Lady Beaumont was awarded the OBE for her services during World War II to the British Red Cross at York Military Hospital, Goole.
On her death in 1971 at the age of 77, her title passed to her eldest son, Miles, who inherited the dukedom of Norfolk from his father's cousin in 1975 and added his mother's maiden name to his own.
