Marquess of Milford Haven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title Marquess of Milford Haven was created in 1917 for Prince Louis of Battenberg, the former First Sea Lord, and a relation to the British Royal family, who amidst the anti-German sentiments of World War I abandoned the use of his German surname and titles and adopted the surname Mountbatten, an anglicized version of the surname Battenberg. The 1st Marquess's younger son was created Earl Mountbatten of Burma in 1947.

The Marquessate was created along with the subsidiary titles Earl of Medina and Viscount Alderney.
