Baron Sackville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Sackville, of Knole in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1876 for Hon. Mortimer Sackville-West, with remainder, failing heirs male of his body, to his younger brothers Lionel and William Edward. Sackville-West was the fourth son of George John Sackville-West, 5th Earl De La Warr and Elizabeth Sackville-West, Countess De La Warr and 1st Baroness Buckhurst, younger daughter and co-heir of John Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset. On the death of the latter's kinsman Charles Sackville-Germaine, 5th Duke of Dorset, in 1845, the Dukedom and its subsidiary titles became extinct, and the Sackville estates passed through Elizabeth to the West family, who assumed the additional surname of Sackville by Royal license. By arrangement, Mortimer Sackville-West succeeded to a substantial part of the estates, including Knole Park in Kent, which is still the seat of the Barons Sackville. He was succeeded in the Barony according to the special remainder by his brother Lionel, who became the second Baron. He had no legitimate male issue, and on his death the title passed to his nephew, the third Baron. He was the son of the aforementioned William Edward.
