KING’S DESCENDANT
HELD ANCIENT IRISH TITLE. LONDON, August 10. A direct male descendant of Maine, fifth son of King Niall, of the Nine Hostages, Monarch of All Ireland in the fifth century, has left property in England valued at £2O/7/6. He was Major Brabazon Hubert Maine Fox, of Galtrim, Co. Meath, the bearer of the ancient Irish title The Fox. When he and his wife were present at any function they were always announced as “The Fox and Madam Fox.” Legend has it that when The Fox dies all his four-legged namesakes in the county gather round the house to mourn his passing. The ancient title is in danger of becoming extinct, as the present bearer, Mr Niall Fox, a nephew, a South Staffordshire full-time A.R.P. worker, has no male heir.
