The summons by the writ of 1321 under the name of " Graystok " can hardly, in those ejrly days, be held to create anetv Barony when issued to one who was entitled (under his former name) to such summons; but if such theory is maintained, in that case, these Lords must be held to be entitled to two separate Baronies, viz. (1) Fitzwilliam under the summons of 1295 aud (2) Greystock under the summons of 1321. A somewhat analogous case occurs frequently in later tiinesiuthecase of the hereditary dignity of a Baronet, where a change of name, tho' involving a change of the title, makes no difference in the precedency of the liaronetcy itself.
