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 t ...
during the Middle Ages and Tudor period, and once in the Peerage of Ireland in the 18th century.


First Creation (of Wootton), (1299-1311/14)

The earliest creation was in 1299 for Sir John I Lisle, of Wootton on the Isle of Wight, then in Hampshire. The family's name in French was ''de l'Isle'' and in Latin ''de Insula'', both meaning "of the Island", though some texts refer to them as ''de Bosco'' from their home at Wootton. They are assumed to have arrived on the Isle of Wight as followers of the magnate Richard de Redvers (died 1107), who was Lord of the Isle of Wight and father of Baldwin de Redvers, 1st Earl of Devon. After the de Redvers family, that of Lisle was the most important on the Island. Sir John I Lisle was summoned to Parliament by writs from 29 December 1299 to 13 September 1302 and died shortly before 10 June 1304. His son and heir Sir John II Lisle was summoned from 12 November 1304 to 19 December 1311 (or possibly 29 July 1314). As no further summons arrived for the rest of his life, and no lawful descendant was ever summoned, the barony expired.


Second Creation (of Rougemont), (1311)

The barony of 1311 was created for De Lisle "of Rougemont", another unrelated family, thought to have originated on the Isle of Ely in Cambridgeshire,

He had previously represented Charleville in the Irish House of Commons. the title is held by his descendant, the ninth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2003.
