   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.
