Baron Beaumont

Baron Beaumont is an English peerage, which is now run as a subordinate title of Duke of Norfolk each. The title belongs to the Peerage of England.

Award

1309 Henry de Beaumont was appointed to the Council of the English king and thus Baron Beaumont.

As with many ancient baronies of the Peerage of England, the creation was not by appointment of a person to Peer ( Letters Patent ) but the fact that the person was asked to take a seat in the House of Lords ( Writ of Summons ). A special feature of these baronies by writ is that they can also be inherited in the female line, if no children are present. However applies between several sisters - unlike brothers - not the principle of primogeniture. Since the title can not be shared or held in common but the title then rests, but if no sons, several daughters present ( falls into abeyance ). Everyone can then jointly entitled to request the termination of the suspension at the crown.

The Beaumont family was, like most English nobleman of this time of French origin. He came from Johann großväterlicherseits from the noble Brienne. Perhaps he was also distantly related to the English dynasty, at least called him Edward II in a document consanguineus registered.

Another title

The sixth Baron was appointed in 1432 to Viscount Beaumont. However, this title was in accordance with the usual rules inherited only in the male line and went out due to the absence of male heirs already with the death of the second Viscount 1507. Although this had no sons, but daughters, so that the barony " in abeyance " was so rested.

This limbo lasted until 1840, when a descendant of a tribe daughters petitioned the restoration of the barony and the crown ended the Abeyance and the petitioners recognized as eighth Baron Beaumont. The barony of Beaumont has been passed down to this day and is now managed by the respective Duke of Norfolk as a subordinate item.
