Baron Langdale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Langdale was a title created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom on 4th February 1658 by Charles II of England, awarded to a prominent royalist commander of the English Civil War, Sir Marmaduke Langdale. Langdale had fought alongside Prince Rupert and the Marquess of Newcastle at the Battle of Marston Moor, prior to the war he was the High Sheriff of Yorkshire and in later life a Catholic convert.
Marmaduke's son the 2nd Baron Langdale of Holme, was a Governor of Kingston-upon-Hull; the title passed on through the family and only became extinct when Marmaduke Langdale, 5th Baron Langdale died without heir (his only son died as an infant) in 1777. The title was later re-created on 23 January 1836 for Henry Bickersteth, who became Master of the Rolls that year, though the barony became extinct in 1851 once more, after his death.

The original Baron Langdale's commonly had "of Holme" on the end of their title, in reference to Holme-on-Spalding-Moor where they were based at Holme Hall. The name "Langdale" itself was derived from the Langdale hundred of Pickering in the County of York where the ancestors of Marmaduke had come from.[1]
