Talk:Simon Abney-Hastings, 15th Earl of Loudoun

coat of arms
The shield shown is presumably that of the first four (Campbell) earls; but would someone whose surname is not Campbell bear a Campbell shield unquartered? —Tamfang (talk) 19:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

The college of arms just recently granted Simon his own arms. They can be viewed from his twitter here. His template needs to be updated to reflect, but I do not understand how to do that. Thank you to whoever can help do this. A.Abney-King (talk) 23:14, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Alternative king of england line - Dies
If this guy dies without any offspring, there will be no "other line" for the king of england. You see how smart the british monarchy is, interfering in Australian affairs ;) 211.27.250.201 (talk) 06:13, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

He's got a younger brother. Try and work it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.88.60.232 (talk) 10:50, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

On the templet it states: Heir The Hon. Marcus Abney-Hastings. This needs to be changed to:The Right Hon, Marcus Abney-Hastings. Or, just The Lord Mauchline, which could have its own page created, for all past and future title holders. –– A.Abney-King (talk) 23:22, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Divine Right of Kings
Robinson's claim has some justification, given that one of the original arguments for the DRoK was that the Kings of Europe were descended from David and other biblical figures in a direct line. Clearly ludicrous and begging numerous questions, but it was an often-made claim. Robinson, one supposes, is making the point that if the lineal descent is broken by involving someone with no royal blood (historical usurpers normally had some legitimate claim), then so is the notion of DRoK. Refs obviously needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.124.45.135 (talk) 03:56, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Legitimacy
I'd like to point out that assuming Tony Robinson's assertions and research are true and Edward IV was illegitimate - anybody conquering the crown subsequent would've been conquering an illegitimate crown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Othellobloke (talk • contribs) 03:48, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

May I have an image changed on my Wiki page
Hello Wiki Volunteers,

I would very much like to correct the image of the Loudoun Coat of Arms from it being generic to my own personal and official Coat of Arms granted by The London Collage of Arms.



I grant permission for the copy-write of this image to be used for the sole purpose of updating the image on the Simon Abney-Hastings 15th Earl of Loudoun Wikipedia page. Thank-you.

Royal descent section
The article says "The Earl, following his father's death, would have become the rightful monarch of England under this alternative path of succession, rather than Charles III". This has been changed from "rather than Elizabeth II" following the latters death. However I think it should still be Elizabeth II as she was the monarch at the time Michael Abney-Hastings, 14th Earl of Loudoun died in 2012, not King Charles III. Alternately it could be changed to say "rather than Elizabeth II and since 2022 her son Charles III" or something along those lines. I wonder what other editors think?

 * I have changed this to "The Earl, following his father's death, would have become the rightful monarch of England under this alternative path of succession, rather than Elizabeth II and would be the current monarch rather than Charles III." I think this is clearer and solves the issues I mentioned, but would be happy to discuss further. Dunarc (talk) 20:57, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
