Earldom of Sydon

The Earldom of Sydon was a Manticoran peerage.
The holder of the title in the early 20th Century PD was one of the strongest supporters of Prime Minister Allen Summervale, Duke of Cromarty. Despite making it appear that being in the House of Lords was a bothersome inheritance, he actually was an astute first-class politician. He used this perception of being a "gregarious gadfly" to his advantage when dealing with his opponents. He was also the "jolly, well-fed" "bon vivant" that many people perceived him as. ()
The dreadnought HMS Earl Sydon was named after one of the Earls of Sydon. ()
