      XPost: uk.people.dead, alt.talk.royalty       From: le@main.lekno.ws              Michael Sydney Cedric Brudenell-Bruce,born March 31st 1926,       since 1974 the 8th Marquess of Ailesbury,died May 12th 2024,       having fallen out a window he opened to let his cat out,       according to the UK's Daily Mail and Daily Mirror,the more       prestigious papers' articles not yet having hit the Internet       that I have found.              He his succeeded as 9th Marquess by his son David,born November       12th 1952,who since 1974 has been known as Earl of Cardigan,       the highest-ranked subsidiary title of the Marquessate,which       his grandfather(1904-74) had used from his own father's accession       as Marquess in 1911 until becoming 7th Marquess in 1961;       the 8th Marquess continued to be listed in Who's Who as       "Viscount Savernake",as he had been from birth,until he       succeeded in turn as Marquess in 1974...the 9th Marquess's       son Thomas (born 1982) has likewise used the Savernake title       from birth and we will see if he upgrades to Earl of Cardigan.              (The sons of the present Dukes of Devonshire and Wellington       have forborne to formally change their courtesy style to       Marquess of Hartington and Marquess Douro,having been long       widely known as Earls of Burlington and Mornington respectively).              The new Marquess has since 1987 been 31st Hereditary Warden of       Savernake Forest,which he and ancestors have owned for many       centuries.              -=-=-       The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,       at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
