Moved content back to "Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon". Mais oui, Princes are still listed by their peerage title. See Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. User:Dimadick
It is worth pointing out here that whilst he was indeed a Prince of Scotland, Henry was never known as "Henry of Scotland". He was always known and identified in all ancient manuscripts as "Henry, Earl of Huntingdon". I think this needs attention otherwise people will never locate him. Sussexman 08:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
In reliable sources, rather than antiquarian relics and genealogical tat, he is usually known as Earl Henry, and insofar as he is associated with an Earldom, it is Northumbria rather than Huntingdon. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:38, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- No-one called themselves "Earl of Huntingdon" until 1176 (or thereabouts); I get the feeling that usage of the term "Earl" before then was essentially saying "I am an earl" but [perhaps] "I'm earl of Northumbria, even if the English King doesn't let me use that actual geographical description", since the Honour of Huntingdon-Northampton was the inheritance of the last Saxon earl of Northumberland.
