Baron Brabourne Information (653 words)
Baron Brabourne, of Brabourne in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
Lord Brabourne had assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Hugessen (which was that of his maternal grandmother) in 1849.
His eldest son, the sixth Baron, was killed in the Second World War, when the title passed to the latter's younger brother, the seventh Baron, a film and television producer.
Lord Brabourne | Obituaries | News | Telegraph (1197 words)
But Brabourne and his wife were determined that the Mountbatten name would not forever be associated with tragedy, and they devoted the years after the bombing to restoring peace, hope and certainty to their family.
After her father's death, Brabourne's wife inherited her father's title courtesy of an arcane First World War law which stated that if a general or admiral was lost without a male heir, his title could pass, for one generation only, to a daughter.
Brabourne subsequently went on to become a director of Thames Television from 1975 to 1993 and its chairman between 1990 and 1993.
