I had actually read this once, there were in fact two Clotworthys, 1st earl of Massereene and his son, 2nd earl of Massereene, because Clotworthy Skeffington just must be passed along. Since they would almost assuredly be called Masdereene as adults the fist name probably didn't come into it much. Dreadful name, like a phlebotomist name in a satire.
