High Sheriff Of Warwickshire
This is a list of sheriffs and high sheriffs of the English county of Warwickshire. The Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. Formerly the Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. Under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, on 1 April 1974 the office previously known as Sheriff was retitled High Sheriff. The High Sheriff changes, by Warwickshire tradition, on Maundy Thursday. For a period prior to the middle of the 16th century the Sheriff of Warwickshire was also the Sheriff of Leicestershire.

Baron Willoughby De Broke
Baron Willoughby de Broke is a title in the Peerage of England. It was created Hereditary peer#Writs of summons, by writ in 1491 for Sir Robert Willoughby, of the Brook Hall, manor of Broke, part of Westbury, Wiltshire, Westbury, Wiltshire, who according to modern doctrine was ''de jure'' Baron Latimer, 9th Baron Latimer.

Around 1535, the abeyance was naturally terminated when the second Baron's granddaughter Elizabeth Willoughby, 3rd Baroness Willoughby de Broke, Elizabeth, who had married Sir Fulke Greville, became the only surviving co-heir, passing her claim to her son Sir Fulke Greville, father of the poet of the same name. The title stayed in the Greville family until after the death of the 5th Baron, when it passed to his sister, Margaret Greville, 6th Baroness Willoughby de Broke, Margaret Greville, the wife of a Verney.

Verney Family
The Verney family purchased the manor of Middle Claydon in Buckinghamshire, England, in the 1460s and still resides there today at the manor house known as Claydon House.

17th-century English Nobility
The 17th century lasted from January 1, 1601 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCI), to December 31, 1700 (MDCC). It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French '' Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis.
