The 1927 Address can be found <a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/430">here</a>. The 1986 Address made two principal changes to the procedure for claiming abeyant peerages: <ol> <li>The requirement to notify the Crown if a person seeking the termination of an abeyance had presented a Petition for the introduction of bills into the House of Lords for restoration in blood in order to qualify for the Peerage was dropped. </li> <li>The Committee for Privileges would only investigate arrangements between co-heirs if the Attorney General believed there was some impropriety. </li> </ol> The Committee for Privileges' report of June 9, 1986 noted that the current procedure was expensive and cumbersome and recommended that the Committee should only investigate allegations of impropriety when asked to do so by the Attorney General. The report did not address the removal of the language about bills for restoration in blood, but this was likely done because such bills were vanishingly rare by 1986.

ELIZABETH THE SECOND, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Our other Realms and Territories, QUEEN, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, to all to whom this Our Warrant shall come: Greeting! WHEREAS: (1) There is a Roll of the Baronetage, established by the Royal Warrant of Our Royal Predecessor King Edward the Seventh, given on 8 February 1910 in the tenth year of His Reign; (2) Further provision was made in respect of the Roll of the Baronetage by the Royal Warrant of Our Royal Predecessor King George the Fifth, given on 10 March 1922 in the twelfth year of His Reign; (3) Our Clerk of the Parliaments formerly kept and maintained a roll, called the Roll of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, on which he entered among others such of Our subjects as were Peers of Parliament; (4) Following the enactment of the House of Lords Act 1999, Our Clerk of the Parliaments no longer maintains the Roll of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal; and (5) Our Secretary of State has represented to Us that it is desirable for a full record to be kept of all of Our subjects who are Peers. WE do accordingly declare and ordain that: 1. Roll of the Peerage (1) There is to be a roll called the Roll of the Peerage (referred to in this Our Warrant as "the Roll"). (2) The Roll is to be prepared and kept by Our Secretary of State. (3) Our Secretary of State shall prepare the Roll in consultation with the Earl Marshal, Garter King of Arms and the Lyon King of Arms, according to their respective heraldic jurisdictions. (4) Our Secretary of State may take such steps and do such acts as he considers expedient to preparing and keeping the Roll, or incidental thereto, including in particular: (a) causing any person who was a Peer on the date on which this Our Warrant was given to be entered on the Roll; (b) making such use of the Roll of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal formerly kept by Our Clerk of the Parliaments as he thinks fit. 2. Registrar of the Peerage (1) Our Secretary of State shall appoint one of his officials to an office called the Registrar of the Peerage (referred to in this Our Warrant as "the Registrar"). (2) The Registrar shall act in accordance with such directions as he might be given by Our Secretary of State. 3.

(2) The application shall be made in such form and contain such evidence as Our Secretary of State may from time to time direct. (3) An applicant may be required to take such steps in relation to his application as Our Secretary of State thinks fit. (4) After an applicant has taken such steps as may be required of him under paragraph (3), Our Secretary of State shall consider the application. (5) On having considered the application, Our Secretary of State shall: (a) cause the applicant to be entered on the Roll if he is satisfied that the applicant is a Peer; (b) refuse the said application if he is not satisfied (whether because he is of the opinion that a claim to Peerage by petition to Us should be brought or otherwise). (6) Nothing in this Our Warrant affects claims to Peerages by petition to Us. 6. Applications to be removed from the Roll (1) Any person who is entered on the Roll may apply to Our Secretary of State to be removed from the Roll. (2) The application shall be made in such form as Our Secretary of State may from time to time direct. (3) On receiving an application properly made, Our Secretary of State shall cause the applicant to be removed from the Roll. 7.

(3) Where an application is made on behalf of a child, the references to "the applicant" in articles 5(5)(a) and 6(3) shall be treated as if they read "the child on behalf of whom the application is made". (4) For the purposes of this Our Warrant, "child" means a person under 18 years of age. 8. Form, contents and administration of the Roll (1) Our Secretary of State is to determine the form and contents of the Roll. (2) The Registrar is to maintain and administer the Roll and shall insofar as is reasonable ensure that its contents are correct and accurate. (3) The Registrar may take such steps and do such acts as are expedient to performing his duties under paragraph (2), or incidental thereto, including in particular the making of deletions and corrections to the Roll. 9. Interpretation: "Peer" (1) For the purposes of this Our Warrant "Peer" means Peer of: (a) England, (b) Scotland, (c) Ireland, (d) Great Britain, (e) the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, (f) the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (2) Paragraph (1) extends to all such Peers, irrespective of: (a) the degree of their Peerage; (b) whether their Peerage was created by Letters Patent or otherwise; (c) whether their Peerage is hereditary or is for life. (3) "Peerage" is to read accordingly. GIVEN at Our Court at Saint James's The 1st day of June 2004 In the fifty-third year of Our Reign By Her Majesty's Command Falconer of Thoroton C 3 June 2004.

Victoria R Whereas Our right trusty and wellbeloved Alfred Joseph Lord Stourton, of Stourton, in the County of Wilts, hath by his Petition humbly represented unto Us that the Petitioner's Ancestors, the Lords Mowbray were Lords of Parliament from a very early period, and from the earliest time to which the records of Parliament can be traced. That with the exception of the Writs of Summons issued by Symon de Montford, Earl of Leicester, in the name of the King, but whilst the King was in fact kept as the Earl's Prisoner in the 49th of King Henry the Third no writs of Summons are of record until the Reign of Edward the First, and the Records of the Writs of Summons are irregular and incomplete until the 21st year of that Reign. That the Petitioner's Ancestor, Roger, Lord Mowbray, was summoned to Parliament from the 21st year of the Reign of Edward the First to the period of his decease, and was also summoned to a Parliament held in the 11th year of the Reign of Edward the First. That John Mowbray, Lord Mowbray, his son and successor was under age at the time of his father's death, and was summoned to and sat in Parliament in the Reign of King Edward the Second, and died in the year 1327, leaving issue, John Mowbray, his Son and Heir, who was summoned to Parliament as Lord Mowbray, by King Edward the Third, and died in the year 1361. That John, Lord Mowbray, the Son and Heir of the last named John, Lord Mowbray, was summoned to Parliament from the 36th to the 39th year of the Reign of King Edward the Third and died in the year 1369. That John, Lord Mowbray, the Son and Heir of the last named John, Lord Mowbray, was, whilst under age, created Earl of Nottingham by King Richard Second at his Coronation on the 16th July, 1377, and died without issue in the year 1383, when his title of Earl of Nottingham became extinct. That Thomas, Lord Mowbray, the Brother and Heir of John, Earl of Nottingham, was created Earl of Nottingham on the 12th February, 1383, and Duke of Norfolk on the 29th September 1397. That the said Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, had issue two Sons, Thomas, Lord Mowbray and John Mowbray, and two Daughters, Margaret, the wife of Sir Robert Howard, Knight, the Petitioner's Ancestor, and Isabel, who married James, Lord of Berkeley, and was the ancestor of the Lords and Earls of Berkeley, and the said Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, was banished the Realm in the year 1397, and died at Venice in the year 1399. That Thomas, the elder son of the said Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, bore the title of Earl of Nottingham, and Lord Mowbray, but under misapprehension of his rights, did not assume that of Duke of Norfolk, and died without issue in the year 1405. That John, Lord Mowbray, and Earl of Nottingham, the second Son of Thomas, first Duke of Norfolk, was declared by Parliament in the year 1424 entitled to the dignity of Duke of Norfolk under the Grant made to his Father, and he died in the year 1432. That John Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk, Earl of Nottingham, and Lord Mowbray, the only son of the last named John, Duke of Norfolk, died in the year 1461, leaving an only son, John, Duke of Norfolk, who died in the year 1475, leaving an only daughter and heir, Anne, Lady Mowbray, who was an infant of tender years at her father's death, and was contracted in marriage to Richard, Duke of York, the second Son of King Edward the Fourth, but died in childhood. That on the death of the said Anne, Lady Mowbray, the Barony of Mowbray fell into abeyance between Sir John Howard, created Lord Howard in the year 1470, and Duke of Norfolk in the year 1483, as the son and heir of Lady Margaret Mowbray, the elder daughter of Thomas Mowbray, first Duke of Norfolk; and William, Marquess and Baron of Berkeley, the eldest Son of Isabel, the younger Daughter of the said Thomas Mowbray, first Duke of Norfolk. That the Barony of Mowbray continued in abeyance between the heirs of the said John Howard, Duke of Norfolk, and William, Marquess of Berkeley, until the year 1640, when King Charles the First was pleased to determine the abeyance by summoning Henry Frederick Howard, the Son and Heir apparent of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, Norfolk, and Surrey to Parliament as Lord Mowbray. That Henry Frederick, Lord Mowbray, took his seat in Parliament as Lord Mowbray in the year 1640, and was placed at the head of the Barons’ bench, and he succeeded his Father as Earl of Arundel, Norfolk, and Surrey in 1646, and died in 1652. That Henry Frederick, Lord Mowbray, Earl of Arundel, Norfolk, and Surrey, had five sons of whom Bernard, the younger, was ancestor of the present Duke of Norfolk. That Thomas, the eldest Son, was restored to the Dignity of Duke of Norfolk by Act of Parliament in 1660, and died without issue in 1677. That Henry, the second son of Henry Frederick, Lord Mowbray, and Earl of Arundel, Norfolk, and Surrey, succeeded his Brother in all his Dignities and had two Sons, Henry, his successor, and Thomas Howard, who died in the lifetime of his elder Brother, leaving issue two elder Sons, Thomas Howard and Edward Howard, successively Dukes of Norfolk, and Philip Howard, his third Son, the Petitioner's Ancestor. That Henry Duke of Norfolk died in the year 1684. That Henry Howard, the eldest Son and Heir apparent of the said Henry, Duke of Norfolk, was summoned to Parliament in the year 1678, and was placed in his Father's Barony of Mowbray, and at the head of the Barons’ bench, by a decision of the House of Lords, and he succeeded his Father in the year 1684, and died without issue. That Henry, Duke of Norfolk and Lord Mowbray, died without issue in the year 1701, and was succeeded by his Nephew, Thomas Howard, the eldest Son of Thomas Howard, the second Son of the before named Henry, Duke of Norfolk, and Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, died without issue in the year 1732. That Edward Howard, the Brother and heir of the last named Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, succeeded to the dignities of Duke of Norfolk and Lord Mowbray, and the other honors of his Family, in the year 1732, and died without issue in the year 1777. That Philip Howard, the third Son of the before named Thomas Howard, and the younger Brother of Edward, Duke of Norfolk, died in the year 1750, having been twice married, and leaving issue by his first marriage an only Daughter, Winifred, the wife of William, Lord Stourton, and the ancestor of the Petitioner; and by his second marriage an only Daughter, Anne, the wife of Robert Edward, Lord Petre, and the ancestor of William Bernard, the present Lord Petre. That on the death of Edward, Duke of Norfolk, the Dignity of Lord Mowbray fell into abeyance between Charles Philip, Lord Stourton, the Son and heir of the said Winifred, Lady Stourton, and the said Anne, Lady Petre, and the said Dignity of Lord Mowbray is now in abeyance between the Petitioner as the great-grandson and heir of the said Charles Philip, Lord Stourton, and William Bernard, Lord Petre, as the great-grandson and heir of the said Anne, Lady Petre, and is at Our disposal. That the Petitioner's late father Charles, the eighteenth Lord Stourton, in the year 1860 presented an humble Petition to Us praying Us to be graciously pleased to determine the abeyance of the Barony of Mowbray in his favor, which Petition was referred to the consideration of Our then Attorney General, but owing to his infirm state of health the Petitioner's father did not proceed further upon the said Petition. That the Petitioner's father died on the 23rd of December, 1872, leaving the Petitioner his eldest son and heir, and the Petitioner has taken his seat in Parliament as Lord Stourton. The Petitioner therefore most humbly prayed that We would be graciously pleased to determine the abeyance of the Dignity of Lord Mowbray in his favor, and to summon him to Our Parliament as Lord Mowbray. And the said Petition having been referred by Us to Our Attorney General for his opinion, and subsequently upon his Report to the House of Peers, to examine the allegations as to what related to the Petitioner's title therein, and to inform us how the same should appear to Their Lordships. It was on the twenty-seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven, resolved and adjudged by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled. That the Barony of Mowbray is an Ancient Barony in fee. That it is proved by the Writ of Summons addressed to Roger de Mowbray in the eleventh year of Edward the First, and the other evidence adduced on behalf of the Petitioner that the Barony of Mowbray was in the reign of King Edward the First vested in Roger de Mowbray. That the Barony of Mowbray was vested by descent in Thomas, Lord Mowbray and Segrave, the son of John, Lord Mowbray and Elizabeth, Lady Segrave, who was, whilst under age, created Earl of Nottingham in 1383, and who was subsequently created Duke of Norfolk. That on the death of Anne, Lady Mowbray and Segrave, Duchess of York and Norfolk, in 1481, the Baronies of Mowbray and Segrave fell into abeyance between John, Lord Howard, and William, Viscount Berkeley, as the grandsons and the then coheirs of Thomas, the first Duke of Norfolk. That the abeyance of the said Baronies was subsequently and previously to the Reign of Queen Elizabeth determined in favor of the Howard Family and the said Baronies were forfeited by the attainder of Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, in the year 1572. That by Act of Parliament the said Baronies were restored to Thomas, Earl of Arundel, the grandson of Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, in the year 1604, and his eldest son was, in his father's lifetime, summoned into the Barony of Mowbray. That the Baronies of Mowbray and Segrave again fell into abeyance in the year 1777, and are now in abeyance between the Petitioner and William Bernard, Lord Petre. And the said Resolution and Judgment of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal having been submitted to Our Royal consideration, We have approved thereof. And the said Barony being consequently at Our disposal, We are graciously pleased to gratify the Petitioner, and do by virtue of Our Prerogative grant to him a Writ of Summons to Parliament as Baron Mowbray. Our will and pleasure therefore is that you do make or cause to be made forth with one Writ of Summons under Our Great Seal to be directed to Our right trusty and well-beloved Alfred Joseph, Lord Stourton, of Stourton, in Our County of Wilts, by the name, style, and title of Alfred Joseph Stourton, de Mowbray, Chevalier, to be personally present with Us and the Prelates, Peers, and Barons of Our Realm in Our Parliament, to be holden at Westminster, the seventeenth day of January, now next ensuing, in as ample and honorable manner and form to all intents and purposes as any Baron of this Realm hath at any time heretofore been ennobled, or created, by Writ, and to have and enjoy the place and precedency due and belonging to the said ancient Barony.
