Talk:Earl of Salisbury

Edward Plantagenet

He did not inherit the Salisbury lands from his maternal grandfather, of the "second creation"; he inherited them from his father, of the "fourth creation". Complete Peerage says clearly that he was styled Warwick, not that he held the title; and the application of the doctrine of abeyance is an anachronism; the first application of abeyance to peerages was under James I; the second under Charles II.

Montacute title

I changed it to say that Richard Neville inherited the title through his wife -- but in her own right she was Countess. I noticed there are other women listed under the Lacy creation. Why not list Alice Montacute as suo jure? -- Lady Meg (talk) 02:51, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
I did what was done on the other pages where she is considered suo jure; put his name under hers. Also, do we need to specify that Richard Neville was the 16th Earl of Warwick? Once you click on the link you will realize who it is. -- Lady Meg (talk) 03:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Footnotes

There are a couple of lengthy digressions here regarding how the title applied to Richard Neville, and to Edward Plantagenet. I’ve converted these to footnotes as they look a bit original (or a least editorializing) Otherwise I’d have thought they would belong in a Controversy section, if there is, in fact, any real debate on the subject.
