Baron Windsor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There have been several titles created in the name of Windsor.
The first was that of Baron Windsor, in the Peerage of England, created by writ of summons in 1529 for Sir Andrew Windsor of Stanwell. The title still exists, and is held by the Earl of Plymouth.
The title of Viscount Windsor of Blackcastle, in the Peerage of Ireland, was created in 1699 for Thomas Windsor, younger son of the 7th Baron Windsor. It became extinct on the death of the second Viscount in 1758.
The 2nd Viscount Windsor's daughter married the 4th Earl of Bute, and her husband was created Earl of Windsor and Marquess of Bute, in the Peerage of Great Britain, in 1796. This title is still extant.
Another title of Viscount Windsor, this time in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, was created for the 14th Baron Windsor in 1905, along with the Earldom of Plymouth.
The last Windsor title to be created was that of Duke of Windsor, conferred on HRH the Prince Edward, elder brother of King George VI, in 1937 after his abdication of the throne. He was unrelated to the family of the Barons Windsor, but the Royal Family had adopted the name of Windsor in 1917. The Dukedom of Windsor became extinct at his death in 1972.
