CHANDOS The English title of Chandos began as a barony in 1554, and was continued in the family of Brydges (becoming a dukedom in 1719) till 1789.
In 1822 the dukedom was revived in connexion with that of Buckingham.
Chandos, who was lord-lieutenant of the counties of Hereford and Radnor, and chancellor of the university of St Andrews, became involved in financial difficulties, and after his death on the 9th of August 1744 Canons was pulled down.

Grey Brydges, 5th Lord Chandos was son of William, 4th Lord, by Mary, daughter of Sir Owen Hopton, lieutenant of the Tower.
Chandos appears to have opposed the match, and it was rumoured early in 1604 that Kennedy had a wife living in Scotland.
Lord Chandos declined to aid his cousin, and she died deserted and in poverty in Oct 1617 (1623?).
