earl
heir was John Lumley Savile, 8th earl of Scarborough (17881856). The 8th earl was never married, but he left four natural sons, the eldest of whom was John Savile (18181896), the diplomatist, who was created Baron Savile of Rufford in 1888. He entered the foreign office in 1841, was British envoy at Dresden and at Berne, and from 1883 to 1888 represented his country in Rome.
