 Earl Fortescue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Earl Fortescue is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain created in 1789.
The Earl holds the subsidiary titles of Viscount Ebrington (1789) and Baron Fortescue (1746), both in the Peerage of Great Britain.
The Barony of Fortescue was created in 1746 along with the Earldom of Clinton, but possessed a special remainder, allowing the childless earl to be succeeded as Lord Fortescue by his half-brother, whose son became the 1st Earl.

For instance, the eldest son of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry is the Earl of Dalkeith, even though the Duke is also the Marquess of Dumfriesshire, a senior title to the Earldom of Dalkeith.
For instance, the eldest son of the Earl of Devon is Lord Courtenay, even though the Earl has no barony of that name, and similarly the eldest son of the Earl of Guilford is Lord North.
Thus a baron's wife is called "baroness", an earl's wife is called a "countess", a duke's wife a "duchess", etc. Despite being referred to as a "peeress", she does not, however, become a peer "in her own right": these are 'styles', not substantive titles.

 Billingborough, Lincolnshire
The Fortescue Arms is an imposing whitewashed building in the High Street, named after the wealthy family that once owned 6,000 acres of land in this part of Lincolnshire.
Earl Fortescue was formerly Lord of the Manor here but the Crown purchased the estates and the manorial rights in 1855 although the family still has farming interests in other parts of the county.
The property became a coaching inn for at least 150 years and the remains of old arches through which the stagecoaches once entered can be seen where there are now doorways while the stables that housed the horses for their overnight rest still stand at the rear of the premises.

The earl in the first few centuries after the Conquest, being still chiefly an official, was granted the 'third penny', or a slice of the revenue accruing from fees for cases brought in the county court of the shire over which he presided.
An earl's wife is called a countess, reflecting his notional equivalence in rank to the continental count.
The same rules of address apply to her as to him, the word 'Countess' being substituted for 'Earl', and where divorced wives of earls are concerned the form of address is as with the divorced wives of a baron except that the words 'Countess (of)' replace 'Lady'.
