Ibbetson title claim shows crown powerlessness over honours
The London Times notes George Broun Ibbetson’s claim to a bronet title based on an 1748 grant and argues such honours pass by male line and cannot be revived remotely. It critiques his cousinly link to Sir Henry Ibbetson and recalls the Earl Marshal’s historic role, noting no current court for baronetcies.
