Succession

Edward and Dorothy's only son, William (11 April 1624 – 19 February 1689) refused the Earldom and retired to a quiet life in the country, and he was succeeded by his father's first cousin,[7] Henry Bourchier, 5th Earl of Bath (1587–1654), who died childless whereupon the title Earl of Bath became extinct and the titles Baron FitzWarin and Baron Daubeny (if it in fact existed) fell into abeyance between his three daughters.[1]
