Note	'The proud’ Duke’s eldest son, he allowed his daughter, Lady Elizabeth, to marry Sir Hugh Smithson, the son of a Yorkshire Baronet. This displeased the Duke, who looked down on the Smithsons, so he went to court to protect his estates. This resulted in the estates only being vested in Algernon for life. In 1749, he was created both Earl of Northumberland, with remainder to Lady Elizabeth and her heirs, and Earl of Egremont, with remainder to Sir Charles Wyndham, elder son of his sister, Katherine. After the 7th Duke’s death, Sir Charles Wyndham succeeded to the Petworth and Cockermouth estates, as 2nd Earl of Egremont.
