Dukedom of Welby
Welby Estate, located in Surrey, is the current seat of the Dukedom of Welby. It is the current residence of Miranda Rossington, Hugh Rossington and Madalene Rossington, and will pass into Daniel Rossington's possession upon his brother's death.
The Dukedom of Welby was presented to the Rossington family in 1503, and its origins are slightly in mystery. It has been hinted that a Rossington daughter had been "involved" with King Henry VIII, and her family's silence had been bought with the final elevation to Dukedom, though the family will deny this vehemently. They claim that it had been a wish of Henry VII to give the family a dukedom, but he had died before this had been carried out, therefore leaving Henry VIII to do the honours. Daniel will be the 8th Duke of Welby.
