London special: There are one or two
very interesting circumstance connected
with the engagement of the Duke Of Nor
folk and the Hon. Gwendolen Maxwell,
daughter Of Lord Herries, which will be
at the altar on February
10 next.
The two families are among the oldest
In Britain, and in more warlike times We're
not always on the same friendly footing
as today. AT Flodden Field the second
Lord Herries was slain in single combat
by the second Duke of Norfolk, then Earl
OF Surrey, the commander Of the English
forces.
AS earl Marshal and premier peer of
the realm, the Duke Of Norfolk will be
entitled to an escort of cavalry on the
occasion of his wedding. This is his
right for all state ceremonies and for any
other occasion which he may desire SO to
honor.
On his first marriage, in 1877, the duke
claimed this privilege, which was granted
by the court of claims, but his grace was
satisfied with the simple recognition of his
privilege. and did not insist on a troop
of cavalry to escort his bride from church.
So that it is not likely that his forth
coming wedding cortege will be made any
sort of military display.
The future Duchess of Norfolk, who is
beautiful, charming and accomplished,
will by all the rules of precedence ac-
quire on her marriage the dignity Of first
non-royal lady in ny land.
