Baron Mostyn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Mostyn, of Mostyn in the County of Flint, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1831 for Sir Edward Pryce Lloyd, 2nd Baronet, who had earlier represented Flint Boroughs and Beaumaris in the House of Commons. His son, the second Baron, sat as a Member of Parliament for Flintshire and Lichfield and served as Lord Lieutenant of Merionethshire. In 1831 Lord Mostyn assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Mostyn. His eldest son and heir the Hon. Thomas Edward Lloyd-Mostyn, who also represented Flintshire in Parliament, predeceased his father. Lord Mostyn was therefore succeeded by his grandson, the third Baron (the son of Hon. Thomas Edward Lloyd-Mostyn). As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the sixth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2000.

The Baronetcy, of Pengwerra in the County of Flint, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain in 1778 for Edward Pryce Lloyd, with special remainder to his nephews. He was succeeded by his eldest nephew, the aforementioned second Baronet, who was elevated to the peerage in 1831.

As of 30 June 2006, the present holder of the barony has not successfully proven his succession to the baronetcy and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage (for more information follow this link).
