"That Henry Lord Clifford, Westmerland, and Vescy, rightful Heir of Robert de Clifford, summoned to Parliament by that Name in the Eight and Twentieth Year of Edward the First, as a Baron, which Henry had also and enjoyed the Names, Stiles, and Dignities of Lord Westmerland and Vescy, all which he had in Fee Simple, descended from his Ancestors; the same Henry, by the late King Henry the Eighth, was created Earl of Cumberland, to have to him, and the Heirs Males of his Body issuing; after the Death of the said Henry and Henry his Son and Heir, and of George his Son and Heir, Father of the Petitioner, without Heir Male issuing of his Body, the said Earldom descended to Francis Earl of Cumberland, Brother of the said George; and the Names, Stiles, and Dignities, as well of Clifford as Westmerland and Vescy, are descended to the Petitioner, and she of Right ought to enjoy those Names, Stiles, and Dignities, and by them be called.
