Notes:

Hereditary Title:
The Barony of Willoughby of Broke fell into abeyance, on the death of the 2nd Lord s.p.m.s., 10 November (1521) 13 Henry VIII, between his three granddaughters and coheirs. Two of these died without issue, before the death of their sister, Dame Elizabeth Greville (who died in 1560), who, according to modern doctrine, would have been entitled suo jure to the Barony. She would have been succeeded therein by her son (1560[sic]-1606) and, subsequently, by her grandson, Fulke Greville, created in 1621, Baron Brooke. It was not, however, till 13 February 1695/96 (when the representation had passed from the family of Greville) that this Barony was allowed to her descendant and representative, Richard Verney; this being the first decision whereby a Barony by Writ was allowed to the heir at law (through a female) after it had been in abeyance. The older and better doctrine was, that, as the effect of abeyance was to vest the dignity in the Crown, no right of succession, after such vesture, could subsequently ensue, other than by the special favour of the Crown. G.E.C. The case is discussed by J. H. Round, in his Peerage and Pedigree, where it is shown that the Attorney General actually argued that the acceptance of the Brooke barony in 1621 had the effect of extinguishing the claimant’s right.
