Hobhouse Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hobhouse Baronetcy, of Westbury in the County of Gloucester, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1812 for Benjamin Hobhouse. His eldest son, the second Baronet, was a prominent writer and Liberal politician. In 1851 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Broughton, of Broughton-de-Gyffard in the County of Wiltshire. However, he had no sons and on his death the Barony became extinct, while he was succeeded in the Baronetcy by his nephew, the third Baronet. The latter's son, the fourth Baronet, was also a noted Liberal politician.
