Extinct Lord Baltimore Title Questioned by Correspondent
A letter to the London Evening Post questions why the Lord Baltimore title is extinct while bearers of the family arms exist. The writer notes Sir George Calvert founded the Maryland colony, cites the 1624 creation, and asks how succession ceases when heirs in the male line still bear the arms. He asks heralds to explain the extinction and rights of current bearers.
