 With regard to the Barons Hamilton of Strabane, Charles, our subject, was the 6th Baron, and the last heir-male of Claud Hamilton, the 2nd Baron, to whom the title was regranted after the 2nd Earl had resigned it.The succession therefore needed to make use of the special remainder, which also allowed succession through heirs-male from the body of the grantee's father.This made that not only the Scottish but also the Irish title devolved to his second cousin, James Hamilton.
