Baron Edgestream
Baron Edgestream
The title of English nobility assumed by Clark Kent after he has been mistakenly informed that he is in reality the long-lost Bertram Keith-Innes Fyffe, the rightful heir to the barony of Edgestream and an estate valued at £5,000,000, who was kidnapped in infancy and never recovered. Kent is not really the long-lost English nobleman, but he travels to England and assumes the title anyway, as well as the seat in the House of Lords that goes along with it and ownership of the Fyffe Coal Mines. Kent stays long enough to uncover the real heir to the title, a coal miner named Eddie Pike who has been completely ignorant, until now, of his true heritage. As well as to stay long enough to apprehend the ruthless Julian Fyffe, next in line after Pike to the Edgestream barony, and his henchman Bascomb, manager of the Fyffe Coal Mines, both of whom were together responsible for the original kidnapping of the infant heir many years ago. Additionally, Fyffe and Bascomb had been, since Clark Kent's arrival in England, making repeated attempts on his life in an effort to enable Julian Fyffe to accede to the barony (Act No. 106, Mar 1947: "His Lordship, Clark Kent!").
