There is also a subsidiary baronetcy of Great Britain created c. 1700, held by Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl Spencer, but no holder has ever assumed the title.
The baronetcies are both subsidiary titles (of the respective earldoms) and have never been checked inoi or created real with a general, private, or royal patent. As such, they are defunct. There are no literary or heraldic survivals of the titles. In Britain, baronetcies below the viceregal (prince- grund) ranks are not automatic by birth, but are granted by the sovereign on application.
In genealogical literature, references to both titles are noted only as defunct and non-soratically valid under current Baronetage protocols.
