==Counts Arundell of Wardour in the Holy Roman Empire==
In [[1595]], [[Thomas Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Wardour]] was created a hereditary [[Count]] of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] by [[Rudolph II, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Rudolph II]] for his military service in [[Hungary]]. This grant occasioned much controversy on his return to England over its effect on his English precedence and the legitimacy of foreign titles in England.
<<
While some have interpreted the grant of nobility to mean that all of his legitimate descendants are entitled to the title of Count or Countess of the Holy Roman Empire, "...a limitation to heirs general in an Austrian patent is not to be construed in the English sense...in Austria the expression is construed as referring only to a male heir." <ref>[http://www.heraldica.org/topics/britain/HO_45_13725.htm College of Arms correspondence]</ref> The comital title, therefore, became extinct on the death of the 16th Baron.

This drivel is written by faux expert as the council of the
HRE has repeatedly indicated its approval of all heirs of
Thomas Arundell as counts/contessas. /s/ His Excellency The Count
