Editing Jacobite peerage (section)

==Sources==
An authoritative list of the Jacobite peerage does not exist. The standard source relied on is ''The Jacobite Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Grants of Honour'' published in 1904 by [[Melville Henry Massue]], who called himself 'Marquis de Ruvigny et Raineval'.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Jacobite risings in Britain, 1689-1746 |last=Lenman |first=Bruce |year=1980 |isbn=978-1898218203 |page= 296, note18 |publisher=Scottish Cultural Press |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i38KAQAAMAAJ}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=The Orders of Knighthood and the Formation of the British Honours System, 1660-1760|last=Matikkala |first=Antti |year=2008 |isbn=978-1843834236 |page= 213 |publisher=Boydell & Brewer |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5FiStjP2VXgC&pg=PA213}}</ref> However, as a source, it is unreliable. [[Peter Drummond-Murray of Mastrick]] noted in an article in ''[[Burke's Peerage]]'' that:
{{quote|[Ruvigny's] own pedigree was false, as was his claim to the French titles he used. This lack of integrity, unhappily, destroys much of the authority of one who was a gifted, if eccentric, genealogist. Much work still needs to be done on the Jacobite peerages, baronetcies, knighthoods and Lettres de Noblesse.<ref>{{cite book| last = Drummond-Murray| first = Peter| editor1-last=Mosley| editor1-first=Charles| year = 2003| chapter = Jacobite Titles| title = Burke's Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage, Clan Chiefs, Scottish Feudal Barons, 107th edn.| isbn =978-0971196629 | pages = 1,lv| publisher = Burke's Peerage & Gentry}}</ref>}}
