Ormond or Ormonde[edit]
In their articles on Archibald Douglas, 1st Earl of Ormond Vian in the DNB spells the title Earl of Ormonde. Lee in the DNBIE and Paton in the much more recent ODNB, spell the name Earl of Ormond.
- Vian, Alsager. Dictionary of National Biography Volume vol. xv, p. 285
- Lee, Sidney (1903), Dictionary of National Biography Index and Epitome
- Paton, Henry Sutherland , John, sixteenth earl of Sutherland (bap. 1661, d. 1733), rev. Jonathan Spain, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004. Retrieved 29 November 2009
As that was just one article I searched the online edition of the ODNB and a search on Earl of Ormonde returned no entries while a search on ODNB returned thirteen results:
