Talk:Earl of Huntingdon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've looked at Leigh Rayment's page [1], and it conflicts very badly with what we've got here. Any comments? Mackensen 22:53, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The present Earl and his brother don't have heirs but I believe there is a junior branch of the family but I don't knwo the names.Alci12 17:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

  Here is the Earldom of Huntingdon's succession list according to Burke's :
  1. Simon Aubrey Robin Hood Hastings-Bass (b. 2 May 1950), brother of the 17th Earl
  2. John Peter Robin Hood Hastings-Bass (b. 5 Jun. 1954), brother of the 17th Earl
  3. Warren Francis Hastings (b. 30 Apr. 1938), great-grandnephew of the 13th Earl
     by the first of his three brothers
  4. Adam Francis Hastings (b.1977), son of Warren Francis
  5. David Walter Theophilus (b. 4 May 1947), great-grandnephew of the 13th Earl 
     by the third of his three brothers
  6. Ian David (b.1975), son of David Walter Theophilus

It's not looking too healthy, is it? Are Ian David and Adam Francis married? Proteus (Talk) 17:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Henry of Scotland

It seems well documented that Henry of Scotland (1114-1152), 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, got that title after taking an oath for king Stephen in 1136 (in place of his father David I of Scotland) as part of the first treaty of Durham. So this mean 1) his mother Maud was probably dead at that time and that there is a break between 1130 and 1136; OR 2) he already held that title which was confirmed in 1136. see: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16760/16760-8.txt
