Baron Sheffield
Baron Sheffield is a title that has been created four times: once in the Peerage of England, twice in the Peerage of Ireland, and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The first creation, as ''Baron Sheffield of Butterwick'', was in the Peerage of England in 1547 for Edmund Sheffield (1521–1549), second cousin of Henry VIII, who was murdered in Norwich during Kett's Rebellion. His grandson, the 3rd Baron Sheffield, was created '' Earl of Mulgrave'' in 1626, and the 3rd Earl of Mulgrave was finally advanced to the '' dukedom of Buckingham and Normanby''. In 1735, at the death of the 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Normanby, however, all of the titles became extinct since no heirs to them remained. The next three creations were all in favour of one person, John Baker-Holroyd (1735–1821). In 1781, on the second creation of the title, he was made ''Baron Sheffield, of Dunnamore in the County of Meath'' in the Peerage of Ireland. This peerage was created with normal remain ...
