There's an old Google Books cite that in 1624, the Earl of Holland (of the Holland region of Lincolnshire) was also named Earl of Kensington. However, I'm not finding confirmation in any other sources, all of which so far limit the "Kensington" peerage level to a barony, nor a specific cite of where their "Kensington" was located. --Wombat1138 23:15, 23 August 2010 (PDT)
