Ulick de Burgh, marquess of Clanricarde - LoveToKnow 1911 ULICK DE BURGH CLANRICARDE (BOURKE or BURKE), Marquess Of (1604-1657 or 1658), son of Richard, 4th earl of Clanricarde, created in 1628 earl of St Albans, and of Frances, daughter and heir of Sir Francis Walsingham, and widow of Sir Philip Sidney and of Robert Devereux, earl of Essex, was born in 1604. The "great earl," as he was called, supported Ormonde in his desire to unite the English royalists with the more moderate Roman Catholics on the basis of religious toleration under the authority of the sovereign, against the papal scheme advocated by Rinuccini, and in opposition to the parliamentary and Puritan policy. Henry, the I 2th earl (1742-1797), was again created a marquess in 178 9, but the marquessate expired at his death without issue, the earldom going to his brother. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Ulick_de_Burgh%2C_marquess_of_Clanricarde   (553 words)

Duke of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Duke of Kent is a title which has been created various times in the peerages of Great Britain and the United Kingdom, most recently as a royal dukedom for the fourth son of King George V of the United Kingdom. On 23 April 1799, the dukedom of Kent was, as a joint title with the dukedom of Strathearn and the earldom of Dublin, given to King George III's fourth son, Prince Edward Augustus.

Many of them changed at Paddock Wood to go on to other areas, but this was already a centre of the hop growing industry and very many of them remained in the vicinity, travelling to local farms on foot or by horse-drawn farm wagon sent to collect them. The annual hop-picking phenomenon, unique to this part of Kent, was always anticipated with a mixture eagerness and trepidation, because for a month or so it totally changed the whole pace and character of the area. www.historic-kent.co.uk /vill_p.htm   (2390 words)

Sir Thomas CHENEY Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports A staunch Lancastrian, he was made a Knight-Banneret by Henry VII for his gallant conduct at the Battle of Bosworth Field and two years after had the further honour of being made Knight of the Garter and created Baron Cheney of Shurland. If he had sat in the later sessions of the Parliament of 1529 he was presumably returned to its successor of Jun 1536, in compliance with the King's wish for the re-election of the previous Members, and was thus involved in the legislation which completed the destruction of the Boleyns. He sat for Kent again in the Parliament of 1542, and as a Councillor and leading official he doubtless acted as a spokesman for the government and again carried bills to the Upper House, although this time the Lords Journal does not mention him. www.tudorplace.com.ar /Bios/ThomasCheney.htm   (4212 words)
