broke, having been elevated to the
peerage as Earl of the city and
county of Carnarvon by King George
Ill in 1898. Most of the English
property has come to the Lords of
Carnarvon through matrimonial al
liances. Thus, when the seventh
Earl OF Chesterfield died unmarried,
he bequeathed every Vestige of the
extensive property at his disposal to
his only sister, Lady Evelyn Stan
hope, married to the fourth Earl of
Carnarvon. 1t was in this way that
all the literary and artistic treasures
Of the Stanhopes, including the IA
nous Lord Chesterfield letters, were
brought into the family of Lord
Carnarvon.
The Hampshire estates, including
Highclere Castle, the principal
country seat of the Lords of Car
narvon, also came to them through
the marriage of Sir Robert Saw
yer's only daughter and heiress to
Thomas Herbert, seventh Earl of
Pembroke, from whom they passed
through his second son, to his
grandson, the first Earl OF Car
narvOn. Highclere. where King
John once held court, is one OF the
most magnificent country seats in
England. and stands in a glorious
old park, thirteen miles in circum-
ference, literally swarming with
game. Up to the time of the Re-
formation it was known as Bis
hopsclere, instead of Highclere
and was the country residence of
the all-powerful Bishops of Win
chester, including the illustrious
William Of AWakeham, many Of
whose writings are dated from
! thence. Highclere was bestowed by
the crown upon Sir William Fitz-

tiers, and it remained in the Fitz-
william family until acquired
through purchase by Sir Robert

II and OF James II. who conducted

EARL MAY LAY
CLAIM TO ROYAL BLOOD.

Indeed, James lis own first wife,
mother of Queen Mary II and of
good Queen Anne, was Lady Anne
Hyde, whose own mother had grad
uated from the washtub.
1t is asserted that until sixty or
seventy years ago a document was
preserved in the archives Of the
dukes of BuccleUch affirming, under
the hand and seal of Charles II, that
he had been lawfully married to
Lucy Walters and that Monmouth
was therefore his legitimate son.
The grandfather of the present
duke, as a loyal subject and friend
Of Queen Victoria, is said to have
decided that this document ought
to be turned over to her, and
il Is added that this was done and
that her husband, the prince con-
sort, in her presence and in that
Of the duke, consigned the paper to
the flames.
