( a ) See vol. i, p. 166, note " a,*' circa fincm, under " Ashtown," as to this being one of 26 peerages [I.], conferred that year. ( b ) It is said that an Earldoji of Enzie [S.], was cr. 17 April 1599, with tho Marquessate of Huntly [S.], but no such creation is mentioned in the appendix to 'Wood's Douglas," vol. ii, p. 673. If such was the case, it would of course, be still existing with the Marquessate of Huntly [S.] (<=) See the " llarant of Dudley," by H. S. Grazebrook, pp. 21-25. Roger de Someri, br. of the half blood to this Matilda, was heir to their father, aud ancestor of the Suttons, Lords Dudley.

The editor has however followed " Nicolas " and " Courthope, and not displaced Erdington from among the Baronies by Writ. (°) Giles, his s. and h. had pardon (1345), 19 Ed.
