Lucius Cary, 6th Viscount Falkland

However, the agreement ended upon the deaths of Edward Cary and Falkland, and Lucius' guardian sued in the Court of Chancery, which found in his favor, to obtain the estate.

[2] The Berties appealed to the House of Lords, and obtained a compromise which gave Elizabeth a life interest in the estate, with reversion to Lucius.

[6] Falkland was sent to England in disguise in July 1722 to sound out English Jacobite leaders in conjunction with the Atterbury Plot.

Around this time, he also seems to have been a patron of James Ogilvie, who prepared the first English translation of Pietro Giannone's Civil History of the Kingdom of Naples.

Falkland returned to live at the Jacobite court at Saint-Germain-en-Laye,[5] and married Count Dillon's daughter Laura (1708–1741).
