Lordship is a small, waterfront neighborhood in Stratford, Connecticut Stratford , Connecticut . The neighborhood extends onto a peninsula on Long Island Sound and is bounded from the rest of Stratford by Sikorsky Memorial Airport to the north and Short Beach to the north east. Lordship is accessible by only two roads, both parts of Connecticut Route 113 Route 113 . Lordship is home to the Stratford Point Light . History The first inhabitants of Lordship were the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation Paugussetts who had a large village at Fresh Pond and smaller encampments at Stratford Point and at Indian Well areas in Lordship . Indian Well was a fresh water pond where the old trolley line crossed Duck Neck Creek just north of the rotary near the firehouse. When the first settlers arrived in 1639, they found that Indians were using this area to plant corn, so there was little clearing necessary. Originally Lordship, called Great Neck, was a Common Field worked and owned by settlers who returned home to the safety of the palisade fort at Academy Hill at night. Richard Mills was the first to build a farmhouse in Great Neck in the western end near present day Second Avenue. He sold his estate to Joseph Hawley Captain in 1650 and moved. It is in connection with his name that the term Lordship is first found, as applied to a meadow on what is still known as the Lordship farm.

the Lordship of Frisia or Lordship of Friesland was formed in 1524 when Charles V of Habsburg finally conquered Frisia. In 1515, Frisia was sold by George, Duke of Saxony to Habsburg, because he had failed to subdue Friesland during the Guelderian Wars . In 1515, Habsburg therefore controlled only a few cities Leeuwarden, Harlingen and Franeker. br In 1522, a Habsburg force under Georg Schenck van Toutenburg went on the offensive and pushed the Guelders forces the following year out of Frisia. Furthermore, the Frisians rebels under Wijerd Jelckama were also defeated and Jelckama was publicly beheaded in Leeuwarden. Frisia was now firmly in the hands of Habsburg and was ruled by a Stadtholder . In 1580 , Friesland joined the Union of Utrecht , but when its Stadtholder George van Lalaing defected to the King of Spain, his strongholds in Leeuwarden, Harlingen and Stavoren were conquered by the States of Frisia. Lalaing was deposed and Frisia became the fifth Lordship to join the Union. From 1580 onwards, all stadtholders were members of the House of Orange Nassau .

Yet, many Irish people are very familiar with titles of English derivation continuing in use by Irish citizens. These include persons styled as Duke, Viscount, Baron, etc. However, in the past 20 30 years, some groups e.g., the Standing Council of Irish Chiefs and Chieftains the SCICC , in attempting to raise awareness of, and cultural identification with, historic Gaelic Ireland , have made the public aware that Irish titles have existed for millennia, and continue to exist today, usually as family inheritances. There are Irishmen seated on the SCICC who are accurately and legitimately styled as Prince and Lord.
