the historian, Bendor Grosvenor

What a British name! "Grosvenor" is the family name of the Dukes of Westminster, the richest non-oil-producing family in known space, or something like that.

He is related: “The name Bendor is derived from the Grosvenor family’s medieval heraldic shield, a bend or, a golden bend (diagonal stripe), which they used until 1389 when it was claimed instead by the Scrope family, in the case Scrope v. Grosvenor. Bendor is the grandson of Robert Grosvenor, 5th Baron Ebury, and the 4th cousin once removed of Hugh Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster.(He is fourth in line to the Marquessate of Westminster after the Earl of Wilton,Viscount Grey de Wilton,and his first cousin Alexander Grosvenor). “
