Baron Dunboyne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Barony of Dunboyne was created by patent in the Peerage of Ireland in 1541.[1] The barons are alternately numbered from the early 14th century by numbers ten greater than the number dating to the patent (e.g. the 28th/18th Baron Dunboyne died May 19, 2004). The first baron of this sequence in turn married the heiress to an earlier line of Barons Dunboyne.
