() It is not clear how the House of Lords had cognizance of this creation. (°) On 7 Sep. 17:19 the Earldom of Warwick, which had been conferred, 2 Aug. 101S, on the family of Rich, became extinct, so that little more than two months elapsed before it was regrautcd. It was natural enough that the owner of Warwick Castle (whose ancestors had possessed that Castle above 100 years) should desire to be made Karl of that county, but, tho' he was, as stated in " Nicolas " and " Conrthope," unquestionably « descended from Walter Beauchamp, Baron of Alccstcr and l'owyck, brother of William, Earl of Warwick," he was neither heir, nor coheir, of this cadet line of Beauchamp (i.e. that of I'awyek), still less so of the heads of that house, (Ac Earls (Beauchamp) of Warwick, of whom indeed (tho' the issue of that long and illustrious line of Earls was " legion ") he was, apparently, not oven a descendant.
