		He had charge of one of the Earl's castles in Kent, and was a descendant of the Knowltons above referred to.

	King Lear
		In King Lear, the County of Kent and the Earl of Kent occupy liminal geographic and psychological areas, mirroring the anomalous position of Kent in the history of English inheritance practices.
		Similarly, the fictitious Earl of Kent, as a newly created character in a dramatic retelling of two traditional stories, exhibits a unique form of mobility in the play: He appears in all the different geographic settings as the only character who speaks to all the other characters.
		Kent's physical and social characteristics represent this middle position in the generational conflicts: His age, fortyeight, places him between generations in the inheritance controversy, and his unmarried status underscores his autonomy as neither father, husband, nor son.
