LlPR-PBCRAQBd, however, have nominatim been granted to the following persons, who did not previously possess any peerage dignity, i.e., [I.] Tbr Earldom o? HuMTiiiODOiv, granted by Hie.

Tliis last case, iiowever, is somewhat anah^ous to the more modern practice of sninronning up th« elrlest son of a Peer in a Barony belonging to his father. [V.] Trk Baront of Wbnsijstdalb, conferred 16 Jan. 18.56, on Sir James Pnrke (as in the text) which, contrary to the precedents in all the previous cases of a life peerage, wns held by their Lrt>rdshif« not to confer a seat in the House of Pari. There are, al8<t, two other creations, each fnade without anif limitation, an omission which may, by impliciition, render them life- peerages, lliese are (1) Thb Earldom OP Cahbridgr, conferred, 1 May 1414, on Richard Plantagenet, called "of York," who was invested, accordingly, in Purl. See vol. ii, p. 120, note " b,*' as to the conjectured effect of such investiture.

The grantee was, when so creiite<1, but 17, and wns, nt the age of 23, er,, 29 Sep. 1397, Duke of Albemarle, succeeding bis father as Duke of York, 1 Aug. 1402, when the ssid Earldom of Rutland became (according to the special clause in its creation), extinct.

He was, however, nine years afterwards, <t., 29 June 1615, Bsron Hny of Sawley in the usual manner, and, subsequently. Viscount Doncaster and Enrl c»f Carlisle. The same exclusion is said to have been made (see vol. vi, p. 337, note " b,'* 8tth " Reede ") in the creation, 24 March 1644/5, of John de Reede, Ambassador from Holland, as Baron Rbrdr.
