Netnews historians must not forget the ancient habitue of alt.talk.royalty,
John Coo,"Baron of Dudley".

Peerage historians will also be aware of the same-titled Earls.

Sorry, Louis--the only Earls I know of are of the Campbell, Warren or
Scheib ["I'll paint ANY car for $_____!"] varieties. Oh, and I guess
The Duke of Earl, too.

Well,the Earls of Dudley rank pretty far down the list...
but in England alone,leaving aside those subsidiary to higher
titles,you've got those of Shrewsbury,Derby,Huntingdon,
Pembroke,Devon,Lincoln,Suffolk...
