Baron Dynham
Baron Dynham (''alias'' Dinham, Dinaunt and Dinan) is a title which has been used twice in the English peerage, for: * Oliver de Dynham, 1st Baron Dynham (c.1234-1299), of Hartland and Nutwell in Devon and feudal baron of Cardinham in Cornwall. He was summoned by writ of King Edward I to attend parliaments from 24 June 1295 to 26 August 1296, the writs being addressed to ''Olivero de Dynham'' or ''Dynaunt'', by which he is held to have become Baron Dynham. The barony was not apparently hereditary, as determined in 1914 by the House of Lords Committee for Privileges concerning a claim to it made by the Viscount Gage and Sir Robert Bourchier Sherard Wrey, Baronet. " y hereditary barony, that may be supposed to have been created by the writ of 1295, is in abeyance" among the representatives of the sisters of the baron who died in 1401. No writ of summons was ever issued to his descendants for five generations until 1467, when a new peerage was created. *John Dynham, 1st Baron Dy ...

Hartland, Devon
The village of Hartland, whose parish incorporates the hamlet of Stoke to the west and the village of Meddon in the south, is the most north-westerly settlement in the county of Devon, England. Now a large village which acts as a centre for a rural neighbourhood and has minor tourist traffic, until Tudor times Hartland was an important port. It lies close to the promontory of Hartland Point, where the coast of Devon turns from facing north into the Bristol Channel to face west into the Atlantic Ocean. There is an important lighthouse on the point. The town's harbour, Hartland Quay, is to the south of the point: the quay was originally built in the late 16th century but was swept away in 1887. The high tower of the Church of Saint Nectan in Stoke remains a significant landmark for ships in the Bristol Channel. The appropriate electoral ward is called ''Hartland'' ''and Bradworthy''. Its population at the 2011 census was 3,019. Communications Hartland is a convenient centre fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Feudal Barony Of Cardinham
The Feudal barony of Cardinham (or Honour of Cardinham) is one of the three feudal baronies in Cornwall which existed during the medieval era. Its ''caput'' was at Cardinham Castle, Cornwall. The Barony was held in recent times by the Vivian family, the last being Nicholas Vivian, 6th Baron Vivian. Brigadier Nicholas Crespigny Laurence Vivian, 6th Baron Vivian (11 December 1935 - 28 February 2004), conveyed the title to John Anthony Vincent of Edifici Maxim's, Carrer General, Arsinal, Principat Andora, in 1995.

Extinct Baronies In The Peerage Of England
Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. More than 99% of all species that ever lived on Earth, amounting to over five billion species, are estimated to have died out. It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryote globally, and possibly many times more if microorganisms, like bacteria, are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, dodos, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
