Baron de Saumarez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron de Saumarez, in the Island of Guernsey, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 15 September 1831 for the prominent naval commander Admiral James Saumarez. He had already been created a Baronet, of Guernsey, on 13 June 1801. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-great-great-grandson, the seventh Baron, who succeeded his father in 1991. Although being born and brought up in Suffolk, in 2006 Lord de Saumarez returned to Guernsey. The ancestral seat, Saumarez Manor, remains in the family's possession.
