And it's not just a church thing.  English nobles were often referred to by
the place to which their title was fixed.  So, when speaking of Lord
Buckingham. for example, one could simply say "Buckingham" rather than
using his given or family name. One reason the Shakespeare history plays
can be so confusing is that both uses are employed.
