Female-line succession of the peerage[edit]

Factual? "As his mother predeceased him, he inherited the barony of Wentworth from his grandmother." During the 1800s and up until the present day, English titles were interred on the male heir. Therefore, the mother would never have inherited the title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simile (talkcontribs) 01:59, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The peerage is a barony by writ, which can pass through the female line. Alekksandr (talk) 21:18, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
