  Sir Henry Vane, the younger, 1613-62
Vane was unable to prevent the outbreak of war with the Pequots, but he secured peace with the Narragansetts and negotiated the purchase of Rhode Island as a refuge for religious separatists.
In the autumn of 1644, Vane was prominent in advocating the reorganisation of Parliament's army and removing the Earl of Essex from command, resulting in the Self-Denying Ordinance of December 1644 and the formation of the New Model Army in 1645.
Vane outlined the principles of civil and religious liberty and proposed a convention to write a national constitution — a method that was followed in America after the War of Independence.

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.
