Lord Chatham's title only survived one generation, Melbourne's only son predeceased him. Lord Lyndhurst, perhaps the most brilliant Lord Chan- cellor of the series, left no heir. The title of Lord Palmerston died with him, as did the title of Lord Beaconsfield. Of those still living who have made history, neither Lord Grey of Falkodón nor Lord Balfour has a son.
