Baron Fauconberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title Baron Fauconberg has been created twice in the Peerage of England. It was first created in 1295 when Walter de Fauconberg was summoned to parliament. Between 1463 and 1903 the title was abeyant, until the abeyance was terminated in favor of Marcia Amelia Mary Lane-Fox, who also gained the titles Baron Conyers and Baron Darcy. These titles passed to her son, the fifth earl of Yarborough. On his death they became abeyant again. After the abeyance of 1463 the "right" to barony Fauconberg which resulted in the termination of 1903 was held together with the barony Conyers; the two baronies then have followed the same way or line into the abeyance of 1948.

The second creation was for Sir Thomas Belasyse (who was already a baronet) in 1627, who was later created Viscount Fauconberg. The second viscount was created Earl Fauconberg, but that title became extinct on his death. The fourth viscount was again created Earl Fauconberg, but that title became extinct again on the death of the fifth viscount. All titles became extinct with the death of the seventh viscount.
