John Conyers, 3rd Baron Conyers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Conyers, 3rd Baron Conyers (born before 1538-13 June 1557) was a British aristocrat, and the son of Christopher Conyers, 2nd Baron Conyers.

[edit] Personal life

Conyers married Lady Maud Clifford, daughter of the Earl of Cumberland and had one child - Elizabeth Conyers; later The Hon. Elizabeth Conyers.

[edit] Titles

Conyers inherited the title of Baron Conyers upon his father's death in 1538. His wife thus became Lady Conyers and his daughter The Hon. Elizabeth Conyers.^[1]. However, since Lord Conyers did not produce a male heir, the title Baron Conyers fell into abeyance upon his death in 1557. It was brought out of abeyance by his grandson, Conyers Darcy, some time between 1641 and 1644.

This grandson is the son of his daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, Thomas Darcy.
