Henry Edward Yelverton, 19th Baron Grey De Ruthyn
Henry Edward Yelverton, 19th Baron Grey de Ruthyn (8 September 1780 – 29 October 1810) was a British peer. He was a tenant and sometime friend of Lord Byron. Life Yelverton inherited the title of Baron Grey de Ruthyn from his grandfather Henry Yelverton, 3rd Earl of Sussex, Henry Yelverton, 18th Baron Grey de Ruthyn, 3rd Earl of Sussex, who died in 1799, with no sons. The Grey de Ruthyn title therefore passed to the 19-year-old Henry. He was the son of the Earl's daughter, Lady Barbara Yelverton (who had died in 1781) and her husband, Edward Thoroton Gould, who was the grandson of Robert Thoroton Esq. of Screveton Hall, Flintham, Nottinghamshire. The younger Yelverton could not inherit the title of Earl of Sussex through his mother, and so that title became extinct until it was revived for Queen Victoria's son, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn.

Lord Byron
George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), known simply as Lord Byron, was an English romantic poet and Peerage of the United Kingdom, peer. He was one of the leading figures of the Romantic movement, and has been regarded as among the greatest of English poets. Among his best-known works are the lengthy Narrative poem, narratives ''Don Juan (poem), Don Juan'' and ''Childe Harold's Pilgrimage''; many of his shorter lyrics in ''Hebrew Melodies'' also became popular.

Brandon House
Brandon House was a Hudson's Bay Company post or posts from 1793 to 1824. It was located at several places on the Assiniboine River between Brandon, Manitoba and the mouth of the Souris River about 21 miles southeast of Brandon. Because of its location near the Souris River it was a center for trade with the Mandans in North Dakota. It was moved four times and there were related forts nearby, so its history is necessarily complex. For background see Assiniboine River fur trade. Around 1750, a French missionary lived in the area. Before 1793 there were ill-documented independent traders in the area and perhaps in 1793 a small post was established two miles upstream from the Souris by Ronald Cameron, a clerk to Peter Grant. History In the period 1793 to 1811, the North West Company was then first to arrive followed very shortly by the Hudson's Bay Company. The XY Company had a post from 1798 to 1804. In 1793, Cuthbert Grant Sr. and John MacDonnell of the North West Company es ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Baron Grey De Ruthyn
Baron Grey of Ruthin (or Ruthyn) was a noble title created in the Peerage of England by writ of summons in 1324 for Sir Roger de Grey, a son of John, 2nd Baron Grey of Wilton, and has been in abeyance since 1963. Historically, this branch of the Grey family was seated at Ruthin Castle in Wales. The Bearers of the Great Golden Spurs, or Saint George's Spurs, the emblems of knighthood and chivalry, perform their service ''jure sanguinis'', dependent upon descent from William, Earl of Pembroke, heir to his brother, John le Marshal, who carried the Spurs at the Coronation of Richard I in 1189. The Marshals failed in the male line and the hereditary right descended in the female line through the Hastings family to the Lords Grey de Ruthyn, later Marquesses of Hastings. The male line failed again and an equal right in the female line descended in 1911 to the Earl of Loudoun (Abney-Hastings) and Lord Grey de Ruthyn (Clifton).
