36. St. Liz Line (Earl of Northampton and Northumberland)

The county which gave designation to the earldom of Huntingdon was, according to Dr. Heylin, a thickly wooded forest, until the reign of the 2nd Henry, when the timber was first cleared away; the chief town, from the celebrity of the forest as a chase, was called Huntingtown, which soon became Huntington, or Huntingdon. The earldom of Huntingdon was conferred, by William the Conqueror, upon Waltheof.
