See an article in the Hetrosp. Review. 18'!3 (2d s„ ii, 527), by Joseph Hunter. Sir George Warren, K B., who d. s.p.m., 30 Aug. 1S01, was, apparently, the last heir male of that house. It was for bis glory that his chaplain, Rev. John Watsou, produced the history of the family (see p. 323, note "d,") with a view to prove the Warrens of Poyntou to be in "legitimate descent from the ancient Earls of Warren, and that, being so descended, the head of that family [the said Sir George] had a right [ !] to the Earldom of Warren." (l ) The same term is applied in the same will to the wife of testator's son, William, while his nephew and heir, Richard, Earl of Arundel, in his will of 1375, designates his wife as " Ma tres chere compaigue. Aliauore de Laucastre." l b ) Particulars of his "truly unhappy life" are in Hunter's "South Yorkshire," vol i, p. 108. (°) lu his will, printed by the Surtees Soc. ( Test, i'bor., vol. ii. p. 41), he is described as " Johan, Couute de Warenne, de Surrey et de Stratherne, Seigneur de Bromfeld et de Yal." One of his seals is inscribed (with apparently greater accuracy) " Sigillum Johannia Comitis Warenniio et Strathernire and Comitis Palacii," Stratherne being a County Palatine in Scotland, while " Earl Warren " would serve to express that he was " "Earl of Surrey," or even " Earl of Surrey and Sussex," in England. That he was "Earl of Surrey (or Earl of Surrey and Sussex) and Earl Warren" seems unintelligible. ( J ) The non assumption of the Earldom of Surrey in the middle of the 14th century, (hiring the period in which the estates of that Earldom were held by the Dow. Countess, illustrates the territorial nature of the ancient Earldoms, it being, according to au able writer (L. 0. Pike, in his " Ooustit. Hist, of the House of Lords"), "a recognised doctrine in the reign of Ed. III. that an Earl must have lands to support bis Earldom," which was also "au accepted opiuiou " as late as (1435-36) 14 Hen. VI. See a similar case as to the Earldom of Sussex, p. 331, note " a." i e ) OriginaUa Rolls, 23.
