Baron Mansel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Mansel, of Margam in the County of Glamorgan, was a title in the Peerage of Great Britain. It was created on 1 January 1712 for Sir Thomas Mansel, 5th Baronet, previously Member of Parliament for Cardiff and Glamorganshire. His ancestor had been created a Baronet, of Margam in the County of Glamorgan, in the Baronetage of England on 22 May 1611. The fourth Baronet represented Glamorgan in the House of Commons. The fourth Baron sat as Member of Parliament for Cardiff. On his death 29 November 1750 the barony and baronetcy became extinct.

Francis Mansel, younger brother of the first Baronet, was created a Baronet in 1622 (see Mansel Baronets).
