Foreign nobleman and Yankee causing division in England? (6)
I believe the answer is:
county
'division in england?' is the definition.
(geographical division)
'foreign nobleman and yankee' is the wordplay.
'foreign nobleman' becomes 'count' (count is an aristocratic title in some countries).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'yankee' becomes 'Y' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'count'+'y'='COUNTY'
'causing' is the link.
(Other definitions for county that I've seen before include "Geographical or administrative area" , "Local government division" , "Eg, Dorset" , "Territorial division" , "Administrative district within a state" .)
