Baron Grey De Rotherfield
The title of Baron Grey de Rotherfield was created once in the Peerage of England. On 25 August 1338 Sir John de Grey was summoned to parliament. He was invested as Knight of the Order of the Garter ten years later. On the death of the fourth baron in 1388, the barony became dormant. However, the estate reaches back farther to the Grey family's ancestor, the Norman knight Anchetil de Greye, who is specifically mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as the lord of the Rotherfield estate or manor. The principal estate of the Lords Grey was Greys Court located in Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire. They were also feudal barons of Shabbington in Buckinghamshire and Bedale in Yorkshire.

Peerage Of England
The Peerage of England comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of England before the Act of Union in 1707. In that year, the Peerages of England and Scotland were replaced by one Peerage of Great Britain. There are five peerages in the United Kingdom in total. English Peeresses obtained their first seats in the House of Lords under the Peerage Act 1963 from which date until the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999 all Peers of England could sit in the House of Lords. The ranks of the English peerage are, in descending order, duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron. While most newer English peerages descend only in the male line, many of the older ones (particularly older baronies) can descend through females. Such peerages follow the old English inheritance law of moieties so all daughters (or granddaughters through the same root) stand as co-heirs, so some such titles are in such a state of abeyance between these. Baronets, while holders of hereditary title ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
