His gallant bearing and his sad See also:fate have been celebrated in See also:song and See also:story, and the See also:aurora borealis, which shone with exceptional brightness on the See also:night of his See also:execution, is known locally as " See also:Lord Derwentwater's See also:lights." He See also:left an only son John, who, in spite of his See also:father's See also:- ATTAINDER (from the O. Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)

On the death of John Radclyffe in 1731 his See also:uncle Charles (1693—1746), the only surviving son of the 2nd earl, took the title of earl of Derwentwater. Charles Radclyffe had shared the fate of his See also:brother, the 3rd earl, at Preston in See also:November 1715, and had been condemned to death for high See also:treason; but, more fortunate than James, he had succeeded in escaping from See also:prison, and had joined the Stewarts on the See also:Continent. In 1724 he married See also:Charlotte Maria (d. 1755), in her own right countess of See also:Newburgh, and after spending some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

Condemned to death under his former sentence he was beheaded on the 8th of See also:December 1746. His eldest son, James See also:Bartholomew (1725—1786), who had shared his father's imprisonment, then claimed the title of earl of Derwentwater, and on his See also:mother's death in 1755 became 3rd earl of Newburgh. His only son and successor, See also:Anthony James (1757—1814), died without issue in 1814, when the title became See also:extinct de facto as well as de jure. Many of the forfeited estates in See also:Northumberland and See also:Cumberland had been settled upon See also:Greenwich See also:Hospital, and in 1749 a sum of £30,000 had been raised upon them for the benefit of the earl of Newburgh. The See also:present representative of the Radclyffe family is Lord Petre, and in 1874 the bodies of the first three earls of Derwentwater were reburied in the family vault of the Petres at Thorndon, See also:Essex.
In 1865 a woman appeared in Northumberland who claimed to be a See also:grand-daughter of the 4th earl and, as there were no male heirs, to be countess of Derwentwater and owner of the estates. She said the 4th earl had not died in 1731 but had married and settled in See also:Germany. Her story aroused some See also:interest, and it was necessary to eject her by force from Dilston Hall.
