Frederick Perceval, 11th Earl of Egmont

Frederick George Moore Perceval, 11th Earl of Egmont (14 April 1914 – 8 December 2001), was a Canadian farmer and peer.

Born in Calgary, Perceval and his father moved to Avon Castle in Ringwood, Hampshire upon the latter's ascension as the 10th Earl of Egmont.

Marrying Geraldine Moodie in August, they soon built a home on a piece of land they bought right outside Priddis, Alberta, where Perceval was raised.

Both cases were dismissed in court; however, the House of Lords did not recognise the Percevals' claim until 1939, several years after the death of the 10th Earl.

Perceval and Moodie had eight children: Thomas, Gordon, June Rose, Patrick, Frederick, Donald, Geraldine, and Elizabeth.

[1] They ended up settling in Alberta and bought roughly 680 acres (280 ha) of land right outside Priddis on the intersection of Macleod Trail and Willow Park Drive, building a Tudor-styled home on it.

[3][10]: A8  After the home burned down in 1938, they temporarily moved to England, where Perceval bought a car he travelled the country with and planned to send his son to Eton College.
