Stephen, to Ingelram de Say; whose da. and h., Isabel, brought it to her husband William Fitz-Alan, feudal Lord of Oswaldestre {i.e. Oswestry) in that co., who d. about 1210. Their 3. and h.

Isabel, sister (whose issue became coheir) to Hugh (de Albini), Earl of Arundel. This John Fitz-Alan d. 1210 and was sue. by his s. gind h., John Fitz-Alan, feudal Lord of Clun and Oswaldestre, to whom ( jure malrisj the Castle and Honour of Arundel was awarded, 27 Nov. 1243, whereby, according to the admission of 1433. ("J he became EARL or Arundel. With this Earldom these Lordships continued united, passing with them to the Howard family (see Tabular pedigree, Vol. 1, p. 152) till, on the attainder of I'hilip (Howard) Earl of Arundel in tfi89, they wero granted to (his uncle) Henry Howard, afterwards Earl of North- ampton, who transferred them to his (the grantee's) nephew Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk. They were, however, apparently, not in the possession of Thomas Howard, the restored Earl of Arundel, next below mentioned In 1627, the date on which the titles of his ancestors were, confirmed to him.] Barony. Thomas (Howard), Eahl ok Arundel and Earl of I. 16°T BtJttRBV (s. and h. of Philip, Earl of Arundel, attainted in 1589 as aboveineutioned), obtained 3 Car. 1 an Act of Pari. " For the annex- ing of the Castle, &e. of Arundel, with the titles and dignities of the BARONIES OF FITZ-ALAN, CLUN AND OSWALDESTRE, and MAL- TRAVERSjC*) Mid with divers other lands &o., being now parcels of the possessions of (him, the said] Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, &c., to the same title, name, Mid dignity of Emu. qv Auvjndel." From tins period therefore the Baronies of Clun and Oswaldestre (which hitherto had been mere feudal Lordships) may be considered as Peerage dignities, («) and as, being, together with Fitz-Alan and Mai- travers, annexed to the Earldom of Aivmdel.

" Sir Colin Campbell, G.C.B-, Gen. in H.M.'s Army, T Ift^R i,n d Commander-in-Chief of H.M.'s forces in India," was, on 16 Aug. ' 1858, cr. BARON CLYDE OF CLYDESDALE, in Scotland. He 1 nri was 20 0ct 1792 ' at Glas S ow >( d ) being s. of John M'LrvER, of that J.OUS. cabinetmaker, by Agnes, sister of Colin Campbell (an ensign killed in the American war), and of Col. John Campbell, who appears to have adopted him. On 26 May 1S0S he was gazetted, under the name of Campbell, a? ensign in the 9th Foot, and served in the Peninsula ; was at Vimiera, and at Corunna (») See Vol. i, p. 138, note "c." ( b ) In his petition the Earl calls them " the titles, names and dignities o£ Lord Fitz-Alan, Lord of Clun and of Oswaldestre and Lord Maltravers." ( c ) On these dignities Mr. J. Horace Round remarks thus : * It is difficult to decide the precise status of the title or titles ' Clun and Oswaldestre,' after the passing (in 1627) of this anomalous Act. What tho measure really did was to stereotype one of the many erroneous assumptions of titles in the 17th century ; but, how far an Act, passed on the erroneous supposition (based, possibly, on a preamble which, in those clays, would not require to be proved), that Clun and Oswaldestre were Peerage dignities, could convert them into such dignities is, to say the least, doubtful. No such mode of creation is, surely, known to the Constitution." ( J ) "John M'Livki;, Wright and Agnes Campbell, a L. son, Colin, bo. 20th Oct. 1702. Witn. Kenneth M'Callum and Duncan Munro."
