Author’s NoteAlthough in England, unlike Scotland, succession to a title goes only in the male line, but there have, however, been exceptions.
The first and famous Duke of Marlborough under a special Act of Parliament was succeeded by his daughter, Henrietta, who became the second Duchess of Marlborough.
The Earl Mountbatten of Burma, who was assassinated in 1979 was under the same Act of Parliament succeeded by his daughter, Baroness Brabourne, who has become the Countess Mountbatten of Burma and her son will assume the title on her death.
