MONTAGU, or MONTACUTE, Viscount (BROWNE).--From a high Hill in a Village in Somersetshire; where William Earl of Moreton, Maternal Brother to William the Conqueror, built a Castle, which, as it rises from its base to a sharp point, he called _Mons acutus_. Thus far the tradition; and Bishop Gibson, in his Edition of Camden's Britannia, allows this to have been the place from which Sir Anthony Browne, the first Viscount, had the Title[249]. [249] Camden's Britannia, col. 72. RUTLAND, Duke.--From the County. GRANBY, Marquis (MANNERS).--From a Village in Nottinghamshire. The Barony of Roos of Hamlake[250] gives Title to the eldest Son of a Marquis of Granby, in his Father's life-time. [250] Collins, in his Peerage 1735, says, that _Hamlake_ is the same as _Hemsley_ in Yorkshire (North Riding). KENT, Duke.--From the County. HAROLD, Earl (GREY), Extinct.--From a place of the name in Bedfordshire. There was in this Family the Viscounty of _Gooderich_, from _Gooderich_ Castle in Herefordshire. ABINGDON, Earl.--In Berkshire. NORREYS, Baron (BERTIE).--James Bertie, the first Earl of Abingdon (who was the second Son of Montagu Bertie, the second Earl of Lindsey) was the Issue of a second Wife; _viz._ Bridget Baroness Norreys of Rycote in her own right. He had Summons to Parliament as Baron Norreys in 1572, and was created Earl of Abingdon in 1682[251]. [251] See Camden's Britannia, col. 315. DACRE, Baron (ROPER, late BARRETT-LEONARD).--Originally both nominal and local, the first Peer having been _Dacre_ of _Dacre_ Castle in Cumberland. Being a Barony in Fee, it has had owners of different names[252]. [252] There were two Barons of this Title existing at the same time; _viz._ Lord Dacre of the North, and Lord Dacre of the South. Both at length centered in Barrett-Leonard Lord Dacre. GODOLPHIN, Earl.--From a Hill (perhaps anciently a Seigniory) in Cornwall. The proper name is _Godolcan_, corrupted into _Godolphin_. The word signifies, in the Cornish language, "White Eagle;" agreeably to which, the Arms of the Family are, "Gules, an Eagle displayed between three Fleurs de Lis Argent [253]." [253] See Camden's Britannia, col. 14. RIALTON, Viscount.--From a Village in Cornwall[254]. [254] On the death of Francis Earl of Godolphin, 1766, the Barony devolved to Francis, his first cousin; and on his death, in 1785, became extinct. TANKERVILLE, Earl.--Originally from a Town and Castle in Normandy[255]. The present Title is derived from Ford Lord Grey of Werk, who was created Earl of Tankerville (a dormant Title in his Family) in 1695. This Earl left an only Daughter, who married Charles Bennet, Baron of Ussulston, who was afterwards (1714) created Earl of Tankerville. [255] See Peerage, 1711, vol. II. USSULSTON, Baron (BENNET).--From one of the Hundreds of Middlesex.
