Catholic== I added the information on his service to the Catholic Church in England, I'll see if I can add more stuff later, though considering the relative un-importance of this article I might forget all together. --Robgea 03:41, 11 May 2005 (UTC)Robgea

Courtenay inescutcheon of pretence
I cannot see why Fox-Davies in Armorial Families (see ) shows the arms of Charles Lindley Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax (1839-1934) with an inescutcheon of pretence of Courtenay. Inescutcheons of pretence are used where a man has married a heraldic heiress, that is a woman who is her father's heir and who therefore has no surviving brothers. This was not the case with Lady Agnes Elizabeth Courtenay (1838-1919), the wife of Charles Lindley Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax (1839-1934) and the daughter of William Reginald Courtenay, 11th Earl of Devon (1807-1888). She did have a surviving brother, namely Edward Baldwin Courtenay, 12th Earl of Devon (1836-1891), who succeeded his father as Earl of Devon. Fox-Davies may have this wrong (he gave the bride's father incorrectly as the "12th Earl"). Sources should not be relied on blindly without an assessment of their correctness. Am I missing something here?(Lobsterthermidor (talk) 12:50, 17 August 2015 (UTC))
