HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA


sanie - the legal title still remaining in Thomas Amy. Archdale exe- cuted a deed for the same to his own son-in-law John Danson. 21st of October, 1708. These complications led to litigation, and under pro- ceedings in chancery the share was again sold, together with that formerly of the Earl of Clarendon, then of Sothell, and was purchased, as before stated, by Hugh Watson as trustee of Henry and James Bertie, and subsequently this particular share was allotted to Henry Bertie (Danson v. Trott, above), in whose name it was surrendered to the Crown ( Statutes of So. Ca., vol. I, 62).

1 The Earl of Bath is mentioned as the fourth Palatine as follows : " 1701-2 Jan 10 St James House - Memorandum of the death of John Earl of Bath fourth palatine of Carolina (21 August, 1701. Thursday) The Lords proprietors did not meet until Saturday 10 Jan 1701-2. when John Granville esq. succeeded the said Earl his father as the fifth palatine of Carolina " ( Coll. Hist. Soc. of So. Ca., yol. I. 150).


The explanation of this may be that as Lord Berkeley failed to pay his quota to the joint stock, he lost his position, as the other Proprie- tors did indeed sequester his share, but he certainly did succeed the Duke of Albemarle as above.

LANDGRAVES AND CACIQUES


The Royal charter reciting: "13th. And because many persons born and inhabiting in the said Province for their deserts and services may expect and be capable of marks of honour and favour which in respect to the great distance cannot conveniently be conferred by us," etc.,


717


UNDER THE PROPRIETARY GOVERNMENT


gave to the Proprietors " full power and authority to give and confer unto, and upon such of the inhabitants of the said province or territory as they shall think due or shall merit the same such marks of favour and titles of honour as they shall think ft so as their titles or honours be not the same as are enjoyed by or conferred upon any of the subjects of this our kingdom of England."


In carrying out this power the Proprietors provided in their Funda- mental Constitutions as follows : -


" IX. There shall be just as many landgraves as there are counties, and twice as many Classiques and no more. These shall be the heredi- tary nobility of the province," etc.


The nobility thus to be established, it will be observed, was in- tended by the charter to be confined to the inhabitants of the province, and so it was understood by the Proprietors, as shown by the above provision of the Fundamental Constitutions. But as will appear by the following list of Landgraves and caciques appointed, the restric- tion was disregarded. The titles were bestowed upon the friends of the Proprietors in England for services rendered them or from favor. Tu the following list, those who could at all come under the definition of "inhabitants" are given in italics. Most of these, it will be ob- served, were Governors; it being customary to compliment the Gov- ernor with the title and the accompanying 48.000 acres of land. The provision of the Constitutions limiting the number of Landgraves to the number of counties. and of the Caciques to double that number, it also appears was likewise disregarded. All the Governors appointed Landgraves are marked in the following lists as " inhabitants." be- cause they actually came to Carolina. but in most of these cases it is questionable whether even they were included in the terms of the charter, as the title was bestowed upon them before their coming, and when they were not inhabitants of the colony.
