Lecale [I.], and BaroK Cromwell, 6. 3 Dec. 1674, assumed the style of BARONESS CROMWELL on the death of her father 26 Nov. 1687, from the [erroneous] idea that that Barony was one, in fee, cr. by the writ of 28 April 1539, instead of one, in tail male, cr. by the patent of 18 Dec. 1540.(°) She, however, walked as a Peeress, both at the funeral of Queen Mary 11 and at the coronation of Queen Anne.

(») See vol, i, p. 119, note "a " (under "Ardglass ") as to the reasons whereby this wit cannot have constituted a Barony of inheritance. ( b ) As we read that he was "a dull lad " it is not likely to have been thro' his own merits. (°) See "creations 1483—1646 " in ap. 47th Rep. D. K. Pub. Records. () The estate of Oakham, was sold in 1596, to Sir John Harington ; that of Laund, co. Leicester, was in possession of Sir Williain Smith in, or before, 1603. ( c ) See " ante," note " a." ( f ) Edward Southwell, her s. and h., i. 1 June 1705, d. 16 March 1755, having never assumed (jure matris) the style of Lord Cromwell. His son and heir (another) Edward Southwell, b. 6 June 1738, likewise, never assumed such style, but in his favour the much more ancient Barony of Clifford was, in 1776, terminated, ho being (thro' his mother, Lady Catherine Watson) a coheir of that dignity. 2 B
