.
The title earl of Rutland seems to have been assumed subsequently by different members of the See also:house of York, though it does not appear that any of them had a legal right to it

.
The 8th earl, a cousin of his predecessor and also of the 6th earl, was John (1604-1679), eldest son of Sir George Manners (d
.
1623) of Haddon, a descendant of Sir John Manners, the second son of theist earl

.
The 1st duke was three times married; the See also:divorce in 167o, while he was still known as Lord Ros, of his first wife, Anne, daughter of the marquess of See also:Dorchester, was a very celebrated legal See also:case, being the first instance of divorce a vinculo by See also:act of See also:parliament, a divorce a See also:mensa et thoro having previously been granted by the ecclesiastical courts
.
His grandson John, the 3rd duke (1696-1779), was the father of John Manners, marquess of Granby (q.v.), a distinguished soldier, whose son See also:Charles, 4th duke of Rutland (1754-1787), succeeded his grandfather
.
When marquess of Granby he represented See also:Cambridge University in the House of See also:Commons, and hotly opposed the policy that led to See also:war with the See also:American colonies

He was instrumental in procuring the entrance of the younger See also:Pitt to the House of Commons, and remained through See also:life an intimate friend of that statesman
