  Notes	[large-G675.FTW] The Palatine Earldom of Chester is now vested in the British Crrown, and is traditionally a title held by the Prince of Wales. In 1071, William the Conqueror made his nephew, Hugh Earl of Chester, giving him the whole of the county Palatine of Chester "...to hold as freely by the sword as he [the King] himself held the kingdom of England by the crown" As Count or Earl Palatine he had extradordinary authority within his provinces - this was seen as necessary due to the need to defend the Marches from the incursions of the Welsh - and as such he had his own Court and hereditary barons who each had their own jurisdiction, and power of "life and death" - legend has it that the Barons of Malpas, (later the Egertons from whom the Wedgwoods of Harracles etc. descend) were particularly prone to sentence the latter. The hereditary Barons created by Hugh are as follows, after the reversion of the Earldom with the crown, these dignities became only titular.
