In like manner the Duke of Warwick was, about 1445, made King of the Isle of Wight, and possibly it was in a somewhat similar manner that in 1301 Edward (afterwards King Edward II.), Earl of Chester, was styled Prince of Wales, &c. ( b ) " The style of John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, as proclaimed in the presence of King Henry VII. included the title of Marquis of Dublin, for which no vestige of legal authority i°b known."
