Talk:Lord John Marbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this article it is stated that Lord John Marbury would not be known as such on account of his possesion of a marquessate and subsidiary titles. However, it is possible that he was the younger son of the previous marquess and it was by the courtesy title of 'Lord John Marbury' that he became known and did not wish to confuse by then changing to the correct title, when his brother predeceased him, in much the same way as Michael Ancram, the prominent Tory MP, continues to be known as such despite having inherited the Marquessate of Lothian.
- Fanwanking! I love it. That's actually quite an elegant fanwank. It would probably constitute original research (actually the whole thing probably constitutes original research, but whatever...) john k 15:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
