Accordingly. f.ord Baltimore inllefl for Kngland. nrhom ha died be? fore being able to secure a grant of land and charter from the crown. James 1. also died about that time. I<ord Baltimore's son and successor. Cecilius Calvert. managed, however, to obtain a grant from fharl-* I. of m-ac tlcally the entire Colony of Maryland, the charter bestowing upon him the most extraordinary powers?virtually those of a vassal sovereign. For I/ord Kaltimore was authorized by the chart? er to strike his own coins, to confer titles at honor, to hulld forts snd cas? tles, to found churches and advowsons. to incorporate towns into boroughs, boroughs into cities. to decree all taxes, to raise and maintain his own army, and to enjoy power of life and death in the colony of which he was. in all save the actual title, a sovereign. In fact, the charter conferred upon 1-ord Baltimore the most extensive pre rogaUves ever enjoyed by a British subject since thf. great houses had bowed down befor,- the sucres^iv despotism of Yorkist and Tudor rule. I.ord Baltimore arrived in Maryland with a retinue of some r.nii In Novem? ber. \*::%. and encountered a tremen? dous amount of opposition on the part of the Colony of Virginia. There was a good deal of fighting, and matters were envenfrhied by the fact that the Puritans of Virginia, persecuted by the Io,-al authorities, found refuge in Mary? land under Lard Baltimore, although bo was a Catholic. Nor were these the only complica? tions.

Lord Baltimore hastily sent a messenger to Maryland to order the proclamation of William and Marc But the BpepapfltgPP died en route, and whereas the new sovereigns were duly proclaimed in Virginia and New Eng? land, they were not proclaimed In Maryland. Tilts was eoastraed bj Klag William as disloyalty on the part of l>ord Baltimore, due to \M- latter s attachment to the cause of tin- Stu? arts, and he dispatched Sir Lionel ? 'op Iy to administer the gov of Maryland In behalf of the . row:', without, however, malting any attempt' to confiscate Lord Baltimore's prop, erty. Benedict I'alvert. the fourth Drd Baltimore, who had married Lady Eliz? abeth I.. a granddaughter of Charles II. and of Barbara Karmer. recovered some twenty years later, the full petty sovereign rights of his father and grandfather as rulers and as Lords Proprietary of Maryland The fifth Lord Baltlmor was the boon compan? ion of thit dissolute Prince of Wales of whom his parents, Oeorge II. and Queen Caroline, spoke with such s. aid? ing contempt and whose whctle career was a source af shame to the English nation. The sixth and last Ixird Baltimore was a. man of much the same stamp as his immediate predecessor. He cov? ered himself with ridicule by his pre? tensions as a poet and was after I TIS obliged to live outsld- England, owing to his indictment for a felony at KiagetOa lie bequeathed his rights as Lord Proprietary of Marylan-i ami all his vast estates there to his ille. gltimate child by an Trlsh girl of the name of Hester Wh lan. when he died at Naples in 1771. He left no leijlti matc Issue The will was contested by his brother-in-law. Sir Robert Kden. who had been acting as Governor of Maryland, and who had married his. that is. Lord Baltimore's sister, the Hon. Carolin* Calvert While tip- petty .sovereign rights of the last Lord Baltimore over Mary? land would undoubtedly have been re? garded as having lapsed on his finalise without Igitimate issue, it Is more than probable that his estates in Maryland would have been awarded by the courts to his sister. I^ady Eden, as his next heir, had !t not been for the fact that her husband. Sir Robert Kden. sided with the Royalists in the War of Independence, owing to whlcii whatever rights he and his wife pos? sessed were regarded bv the newly de? clared republic- as forfeited to the State, thus extinguishing all previous rig-hts. It is difficult, under the circum? stances, to understand how- any heirs in the female line from earlier leirds ? >f Baltimore can possibly have any lawful claim to property in Baltimore. For when the sixth Lard Baltimor? dh-d and Sir Robert Eden of Maryland ?that is the title of his baronetcy? brought suit to upset his brother-in law's invalid will in fa\ or of his ille. gitimate child, it was definitely shown at the time that there wer i no liejrs in tlie male line direct remaining of any of the six successive Lnrds Balti? more. Had there been any. the Barony of Baltimore would have been claimed long ere this by a Calvert. That many in Maryland regard the present Sir William i-hL-n. the fifth Kden Baronet "of Maryland.'' as the only lawful successor of the-last and sixth Lord Baltimore, through the lat ter's sister, is perhaps best shown by the fact that when Sir William's aalj daughter.
