Claims to Irish honours challenged by Richard Annesley
An 18th century petition details Richard Annesley’s claim to Viscount Valentia and Baron Mount Norris and Altham through a contested family lineage. It outlines previous holders, alleged early marriages, and a 1771 Lords ruling denying rights to other claimants, with the present claimant seeking official examination and decision. The document also notes parliamentary friction over corn bounty amendments and inter-chamber tensions between the Lords and Commons.
