Lord Rochford, presumably in the erroneous belief that his father had a right to the barony, to which, however, he was only a coheir.(a) 1605. John (Darcy), Lord Darcy, was sum. to Parliament from 1605 to 1628/9 by writs directed Johanni Darcy et Meinill, in the erroneous belief that he had inherited the barony of Meinill. See also 1678. 1628. Henry Clifford, only s. and h. of Francis (Clifford), Earl of Cumberland, was sum. to Parliament v.p., 17 Feb. 1627/8, as Lord Clifford, in the erroneous belief that the ancient barony of Clifford was vested in his father. 1628. James Stanley, s. and h. of William (Stanley), Earl of Derby, was sum. to Parliament v.p., 7 Mar. 1627/8, as Lord Strange, in the erroneous belief that the barony was vested in his father. 1640. Henry Frederick Howard, s. and h. of Thomas (Howard), Earl of Arundel and Earl of Surrey, was sum. to Parliament v.p., 13 Apr. 1640, as Lord Mowbray, in the erroneous belief that the barony was vested in his father.(") 1678. Conyers (Darcy), Lord Darcy and Lord Conyers, was sum. to Parliament on 7 Oct. 1678 and 1 Mar. 1679/80, by writs directed Conyers Darcie de Darcie et Meynill, in the erroneous belief that the barony of Meinill was vested in him. 1679. Thomas Willoughby, on the death s.p. of his distant cousin, Charles (Willoughby), Lord Willoughby of Parham, assumed the barony, and was adjudged wrongly to be the heir male of the grantee. He was sum. to Parliament as Lord Willoughby of Parham, and took his seat as such 21 Oct. 1680, whereby he acquired, by the Crown's error, a barony in fee, for the ancient barony cr. by patent in 1547 was not vested in him. 1722. Algernon Seymour, Ist surv. s. of Charles (Seymour), Duke of Somerset, was sum. to Parliament after the death of his mother, 23 Nov. 1722, as Lord Percy, in the erroneous belief that the barony of Percy was vested in her. Scottish and Irish assumptions and their recognition by the Crown are not included in the above lists, because the system of resignation and regrant which prevailed in Scotland, and the obscure origin of many of the Irish peerages, make it impossible to group them with the English cases. Among Scottish examples are Buchan, Lindores, Mar, Moray, Ruthven of Freeland; and among Irish, Barry, Barrymore or Buttevant, Fermoy, and la Poer.(c) These are all dealt with under their respective titles. (a) J. H. Round, Peerage Studies, pp. 335, 337 () See J. H. Round's article, "The Abeyance of the Barony of Mowbray," as above. (c) The adoption by the heirs apparent of the Earls of Donoughmore of the courtesy title Viscount Suirdale can hardly be called an assumption. See DONOUGH MORE.
