HE BEARS HIS TITLE
WITH PERFECT RIGHT
Marquis Huntly Is Polish Name?
sake of British Peer, Lord
Huntly.
?T I A MiRtlllMl DE rovrtXM. i
THERE has just passed away at)
Warsaw OBe of th< most notable i
known as the Marquis Huntly. and i
strange thouirh :t may seem to those]
who are aware that th^ head of the |
historic house of Gordon Is that Brit?
ish peer. Eord Huntly, who is also the
premier marquis of Scct'.anfl. his Po?
lish namesake bore his title with per?
fect right and warrant. True, the;
patent of his dignity, dated 1658, did
not bear th? aign-manual of any
Scotch or English r.ul-r. but that of
k ng John Caadaatr of Poland, and la
' >".9?. the Grand Diet of Poland reaf
ti.-med the patent in favor of tht- first
Polish Marquis Huntly'* grand SO tl
John, declaring that he. commanding
a Polish Hussar regiment at the time,
was the only Gordon authorized to bear
the title of Marquis Huntly?in Poland.
The Polish staJrOjBSSBtfl of Huntly are
descended from the f- Ol d S> ..ttish
Marquis of Huntly. who s?t himself
sgsl?1 the mighty Cavenant aas to ight
bravely for Chatted I . being ultimate?
ly beheaded as an adherent ol that
ill-fated monarch in 164? This Scotch)
Lord Huntly had rjv* sons. The eldest. '
George, fell at the battle of Alford.
The second, Jims?, likewise prc-de-J
? eased li<? fat!.er. dytnjr of grief result-,
ing from the death of Charles 1.. to'
whom he was d-voted. Lewis, the;
third son. succeeded his fattier in the;
S.-oti h marqulsatf. and his line even-1
tually became extinct with the death
af the fifth l?uk? of Gordon In l*?t.'
when the <lukt dorn lapsed and trie mar-!
galante went to the descendants of
Charten, the fourth son of the second !
Scotch marquis. It is from him that
the present Scottish Marquis of Hunt- i
Ijr is descended.
The fifth son of the second Scotch'
, marquis was Lord Henry Gordon, and !
[with his twin sister. Lady Catherine'
Gordon, he was taken in his eklMhOOd j
i to Warsaw where they were both
1 bi'ju^ht up as poles. Henry being na
j turallzed nn attaining manhood, and
receiving from King .lohn Casimir the
? Polish Mfcrqulasttc of Huntly. His
! sister, i^ady Catherine, married Count
! Andrew aferaatya, ;;rand treasurer t?f

j ly family of Lubomirski. while the
' other became matrimonially allied to
I the ?tili more famous house of Csar
I torytkl. and was the grandmother of
Stanislas Pon'atowskt. last King- of
Poland.
This flret Polish Marquis of Huntly

Patrick Gordon of Auchleuchrtes, In J
Aberdeenshire. who was the rijcht hand .
man of Peter the Great. There was a
Van Gordon, who figured among the

There was a Gordon who was among

Scotch house of Gordon has ftirmsh'd
many notable statesmen, generals and 1
admirals to Sweden, and not long ago]

to the Emperor that la spite of their
devotion to the reigning family, they
could not consent to remain con:..x ? d

Prince Frederick Leopold is a very
good looking man and a magnificent
horseman, who won the long distance
ride from Berlin to Vienna, in which
the Sneat riders of the German army
took part. But his manners and his
