Baron Clwyd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Clwyd, of Abergele in the County of Denbigh, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1919 for the Liberal politician Sir John Roberts, 1st Baronet, who had previously represented Denbighshire West in the House of Commons. He had already been created a Baronet, of Abergele in the County of Denbigh, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1908. Lord Clwyd's father John Roberts had earlier been Member of Parliament for Flint from 1878 to 1892. As of 2010 the titles are held by the first Baron's great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2006.
The title of the barony, Clwyd, is pronounced "Cloo-id".
