Talk:Henry Howard, 15th Earl of Arundel

Untitled
Does anyone who knows this man well, know if he is the same person as Henry Howard, 3rd Earl of Arundel? If so, the 2 articles should be merged]]. Thanks, Boleyn2 (talk) 11:43, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Renounced succession?
I am not aware of any instance between the attainders and surrenders-and-regrants of previous centuries and the Peerage Act 1963 that anyone was able to "renounce succession" to a peerage in favor of another relative. Has this Quaker cousin Thomas who declined to be 12th Duke been somebody's family legend without historical basis? Or was there a legal question as to the legitimacy of his descent? Normally a non-claiming heir results in a dormancy. 96.250.80.27 (talk) 02:28, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
