The Earldom of Harrington was a Manticoran peerage, created essentially to provide SKM dignitities for Captain Honor Harrington, an officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy who had been ennobled by Grayson. Years later, Commodore Harrington was captured by the Havenite Navy and turned over to State Security to be executed. Rescued by her crew in an escape that left the authorities to believe they were all dead, the Havenite regime staged her execution. (HH7)
