Lord Kinloss

From Free net encyclopedia

Lord Kinloss is a title in the Peerage of Scotland dating to 1602. The third Lord was created Earl of Elgin. The two titles remained united until the death of the fourth Earl, when the earldom passed to the Earl of Kincardine, while the status of the lordship became uncertain. In 1868 the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords decided that the rightful heir to the Lordship was James Brydges, 3rd Duke of Chandos (1731-1789), as the son of Lady Mary Bruce, daughter of the fourth Earl of Elgin. However, he never assumed the title. At the death of the Duke, the dukedom became extinct. The heir to the lordship of Kinloss was his only child, Anne, Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos, the wife of Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos (1776-1839). In 1868 her grandson, Richard Plantagenet Campbell Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos (1823-1889), established his right to the lordship before the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords, and became the 10th Lord Kinloss. On his death in 1889 the dukedom became extinct, while the lordship passed to his eldest daughter. The title is now held by her granddaughter.
