I found this while adding bits from the bio on the Earl of Pembroke page (from the 1911 Britannica):

  • Though he is sometimes called earl in contemporary documents, it is uncertain when if ever William was formally created or recognized as Earl of Pembroke.
  • In 1295 was summoned to parliament as Earl of Pembroke.

These sentences are in direct contradiction, but I don't know which one is right! The first was on this page, the second on the other one (apparently from Britannica). Chose to leave it off until someone could sort it out... Lordjim13 01:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
