Talk:Earl of Clarendon

Similar articles explain the origin of the name of the earldom, if this is not obviously a place name. This one does not. At the first creation of this earldom, did the name Clarendon come from the (by then ruined) Palace of Clarendon near Salisbury? If not, where does it relate to?88.109.14.242 (talk) 23:09, 6 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The creation (at least of the first earldom) referred to "Clarendon in the County of Wilts" (i.e. Wiltshire), so presumably it was indeed a reference to the palace. Proteus (Talk) 19:31, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Cross-dressing?
A slight suggestion that maybe there was something in it is on page 124 of this book - it would have been an unusual thing to charge someone with at that time. Dougweller (talk) 18:40, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
