Abstract The 13th August 1999 was the 200th anniversary of the Dukedom of Brontë. The following text is abstracted from a lecture delivered at the Brontë Parsonage Museum to commemorate the anniversary. It deals with the origins of the Brontë name, the history and descent of the Dukedom, and the possibility of any connection between the two.

Mr Robinson is said by Winifred Gerin to be related to the Marquis of Ripon. The marquis ate fell into abeyance in 1923, but its fortunes can be traced in The New Extinct Peerage by L. C. Cave. Sir Will aim RobinsoJ;1 was created a baronet in 1689. He had a number of sons, but only two left any issue. The second son and third baronet, Sir Tancred Robinson, had two sons who became baronets but they had no heirs. When Sir Norton Robinson died in 1795 the title passed to the descendants of Sir William's youngest son, Thomas, who as a diplomat, had been elevated to the peerage as the first Baron Grantham. Lord Grantham's grandson became Prime Minister briefly in 1828, although by that time he had acquired the title of Viscount Goderich. Goderich was an undistinguished Prime Minister and though he was further elevated to being Earl of Ripon and continued to hold cabinet rank in the 1840s, he is hardly as famous as Canning, his predecessor as premier, or his successor, Wellington, or even his own son, a successful viceroy of India, who was, after the Brontes' time, promoted to being Marquis of Ripon. The viceroy had one son, but he left no heirs, and the Robinson baronetcy, Grantham baronetcy, Goderich viscountcy, Ripon earldom, and one other peerage that had been collected on the way, all died out. This was a very grand family for the Robinsons of Thorp Green to claim a connection with, but the degree of kinship must have been fairly remote. Since Cave names all the descendants of Sir William Robinson, Edmund Robinson must have descended from a younger brother of the first baronet, or some remoter ancestor, and cannot have been closer to the Earl of Ripon than a third cousin.

据温妮弗雷德·格林说，罗宾逊先生与里彭侯爵有亲戚关系。侯爵爵位在1923年被搁置，但它的命运可以在l·c·凯夫(l.c. Cave)的《新灭绝的贵族》(The New Extinct Peerage)中找到。威尔·aim·罗宾森爵士于1689年被封为准男爵。他有许多儿子，但只有两个留下了子嗣。第二个儿子和第三个准男爵，唐克雷德·罗宾逊爵士，有两个儿子都成为了准男爵，但他们没有继承人。1795年诺顿·罗宾逊爵士去世后，爵位传给了威廉爵士最小的儿子托马斯的后代。托马斯作为一名外交官，被封为贵族，成为第一代格兰瑟姆男爵。格兰瑟姆勋爵的孙子在1828年短暂担任首相，尽管那时他已经获得了戈德里奇子爵的头衔。戈德里奇是一位平凡的首相，尽管他后来被提升为里彭伯爵，并在19世纪40年代继续担任内阁职务，但他几乎没有坎宁、他的前任首相、他的继任者惠灵顿、甚至他自己的儿子——一位成功的印度总督——出名，在勃朗特家族时代之后，他被提升为里彭侯爵。总督有一个儿子，但他没有留下继承人，鲁滨逊男爵爵位、格兰瑟姆男爵爵位、戈德里奇子爵爵位、里彭伯爵爵位，以及在此过程中获得的另一个爵位，全都消失了。对于索普格林的罗宾逊来说，这是一个非常显赫的家族，他们可以宣称自己与之有联系，但亲属关系的程度一定相当遥远。既然凯夫提到了威廉·鲁滨逊爵士的所有后裔，那么埃德蒙·鲁滨逊一定是第一任准男爵的一个弟弟的后裔，或者是某个更遥远的祖先，而且不可能比第三个堂兄更接近里彭伯爵。然而，我们可以看到

Charles Lemon subtitles his collection 'The best from one hundred years of the Transactions of the Bronte Society'. As every reader of this will know, Transactions has always been the publication where scholarly discussion of the Bronte works is promoted, but it has also tried to be a broad church, with pieces on new discoveries and acquisitions, contributions by non-specialists (medical, topographical, historical and so on), personal tributes, reviews of the many adaptations of the novels (plays, television serials, musicals, operas) and some coverage of Society matters. Charles Lemon's selection offers us a delightful stroll through backnumbers, and since he introduces each item himself it is, like most Society walks, an extremely well-conducted one. Sometimes, because of juxtaposition, we can forget we are walking not only through the fields of Bronte scholarship but also through the years: Butler Wood's eloquent paean to the Haworth moorlands seems to bring a snappish rebuke from the next article, Lady Wilson's: 'I got quickly tired of the insistence of these ... writers on the character of the country which surrounds Haworth.' In fact, however, seventeen years separates these pieces, so no rebuke can have been intended. If rebuke had been called for, however, Lady Wilson was clearly the one to give it. Her plea for the governess-employing classes involved so much trouble for the Society's powers-that-be that the letters about her remained for decades in a file closed to ordinary library readers. Rambling through the years as we do, we start noticing how attitudes on all sorts of matters have changed. To take just one example: Patrick Bronte in the early essays gets a very poor press. Butler Wood speaks of his 'indifference to the society of the children and his generally eccentric habits'; Dorothy]. Cooper mentions as fact 'the semi-Calvinist creed at home', while Donald Hopewell says that 'For Patrick Bronte the ministry was a means of livelihood and not even his most fervent admirers could accuse him of an excess of spirituality.' Ivy Holgate even has him withdrawing 'from his neighbours and fellowcreatures, emerging only to perform his ministerial duties.' How emphatically the whirligig of time
