The Dillon Baronetcy of Lismullen, in County Meath was created in Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1801. It became extinct with the death of the 8th Baronet in 1982. The baronets also held the title of Baron Dillon, of the Holy Roman Empire, which was granted by Imperial Letters Patent of the Emperor Joseph II dated 4 July 1783.〔(HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE TITLES HELD BY BRITISH FAMILIES )〕 The ancestral motto is ''Whilst I breathe I hope''. Royal License to use this title was granted by King George III on 22 February 1784. ==Dillon baronets (1801)== *Sir John Talbot Dillon, 1st Baronet (1739–1805) *Sir Charles Drake Dillon, 2nd Baronet (died 1840) *Sir Arthur Richard Dillon, 3rd Baronet (died 1845) *Sir William Dillon, 4th Baronet (1774–1851) *Sir Arthur Henry Dillon, 5th Baronet (1828–1852) *Sir John Dillon, 6th Baronet (1806–1875) *Sir John Fox Dillon, 7th Baronet (1843–1925) *Sir Robert Dillon, 8th Baronet (1914–1982); brother of Michael Dillon (née Laura Dillon). In 1958 ''Debrett's Peerage'' listed Michael Dillon, the world's first female-to-male transsexual to undergo sex reassignment surgery, as heir to his brother's baronetcy, while ''Burke's Peerage'' mentioned only a sister, Laura Maude. The editor of ''Debrett's'' told ''Time Magazine'' that Dillon was unquestionably next in line for the baronetcy: "I have always been of the opinion that a person has all rights and privileges of the sex that is, at a given moment, recognized."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dillon baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
