: For insiders in the British peerage the
: questions below are probably rather silly,
: but still I want to put them on.
:
: Patricia Knatchbull is the 2nd countess of
: Mountbatten of Birma.
: She was married to the late John Knatchbull,
: the 7th Baron Brabourne.
:
: Her eldest son is Norton Knatchbull, who
: became at the death of his father the 8th
: Baron Brabourne. He is also heir apparent of
: the earldom of Mountbatten of Birma.
:
: Now my questions:
: As heir apparent of the earldom of
: Mountbatten of Birma, Norton Knatchbull was
: known as Lord Romsey, the courtesy title of
: the earldom. But why was he no longer lord
: Romsey after he became the 8th baron
: Brabourne? I thought this barony has nothing
: to do with the courtesy title of Mountbatten
: of Birma?
:
: Nortons eldest son (Nicholas Knatchbull) is
: heir apparent of the barony Brabourne. Does
: he have no courtesy title in this respect?
:
: Does Norton Knatchbull as the eldest son of
: the heir apparent of the earldom of
: Mountbatten of Birma have no courtesy title?
:
: Is the (unfortunately drug-addicted)
: Nicholas Knatchbull allowed to pass on the
: barony Brabourne or the earldom of
: Mountbatten of Birma to his sister?
