Talk:Marquess of Exeter

Lord Paramount
The title holder appears to continue to hold the office commonly called ~: Lord Paramount of the Liberty of Peterborough or Lord Paramount of the Soke of Peterborough. 

The Law Commission (ic of repealing obsolete statue) references this office in it's 2006 report but uses yet another form:

''the...Marquis of Exeter who held the office of keeper by virtue of being lord paramount of the hundred and high bailiff of the “liberty or soke and hundred”: ibid., s.29. The release of the Marquis of certain of his responsibilities by the 1839 Act (see below) was not to be construed as diminishing any other of his “liabilities, rights, liberties, immunities, exemptions, franchises, and privileges” which he held by virtue of his offices of lord paramount of the hundred (Nassaburgh) or high bailiff (Peterborough) ''

My feeling is that the first links probably use the common form akin to saying Lord Chancellor not the correct Lord High Chancellor, where as the later use being for an act of parliament is likely to be exact and therefore the form we ought to include. Alci12 13:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

double numbers
Under Line of succession, every heir presumptive after the heir apparent has two numbers (n, n-1). What do these mean? —Tamfang (talk) 20:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
