(Bodl. Lib." ) is in " Doyle," (°) He was, when a Commissioner for (lie office of Earl Marshal, a patron of the well-known Augustine Vincent, Windsor Herald, for whom he "obtained a place in the office of Arms" in Feb. 1010, a fact gratefully ackuowledged in Viucent's " Brooke," (0 See their names in note " c " above. ( g ) From 1616 to 1856 this Earldom was held without any Barony. See vol. v, p. 90, note "b," sub " Lincoln," for similar cases. Baronies are, however, usually, tho' erroneously, ascribed to many of the succeeding Earls, e.y., by Vincent (probably holding the theory of an Earldom " attracting " Baronies once held with it) by Collins, Doyle, &c„ the latter indeed styling Charles the 15th Karl, who d. iu 1827 " Baron Talbot, Strange of Blackmere, FuniWal, Verdon, Lovetot, Gift'ard of Brims- field, Comyu of Badenoch, Valence, and Moutchesny ! ", [i.e. Montcheusy] tho', iu reality he held Ha Barony whatsoever.
