I added the section headings and the "List of Titles" for clarification. When the royal family renounced their German name and adopted "English" names it gets rather confusing. There was no reference for any of these, but I did use current Wikipedia pages for examples on formatting, etc. ESQ24
It all depends on the way the peerage was defined to be inherited by the Letters Patent that created the peerage. Some of them, like the Dukedom of Fife (which was actually originally to pass to heirs male, but was re-created to pass to heirs male and then to daughters and their heirs male) do have remainders for female children, others do not. The Earldom Mountbatten of Burma can pass in the female line, but most are restricted to the heirs male of the former dukes/earls/etc. Prsgoddess18701:36, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
