Robert Capell, 10th Earl Of Essex
Robert Edward de Vere Capell, 10th Earl of Essex (13 January 1920 – 5 June 2005) was Earl of Essex from 1981, but was only recognized as such in 1989. He was then a member of the House of Lords until the slimming down of the house in 1999. Early life Robert Capell was born in 1920, the son of Arthur de Vere Capell and his wife Alice Currie. Peerage His father died when he was three, and he spent some time in an orphanage, where he was bewildered when the head told him he would be the Earl of Essex one day.

This led Capell to correspond with distant and formerly unknown relations. Eventually, he was able to prove that his great-grandfather Algernon Capell had been the elder brother of Bladen Capell's great-great-grandfather, Adolphus Capell.
