  William Vernon Harcourt (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the second son of the Rev. Canon William Vernon Harcourt, of Nuneham Park, Oxford, himself the fourth son and eventually heir of Edward Harcourt, Archbishop of York.
William George was therefore born a Vernon, and by his connection with the old families of Vernon and Harcourt was related to many of the great English houses, a fact of which he was proud.
As Harcourt himself was a second son, and thus unlikely to ever have to pay such duties himself (though this proved to not be the case), it was often quipped that this introduction was a "second son's revenge".
