Award

The Furnivall family came from Nottinghamshire, where he was lord of Worksop and Grass Thorpe. In addition, they possessed estates in Yorkshire. Already in 1270 allowed the English King Henry III. Sir Thomas de Furnivall to build in Sheffield, Yorkshire, a stone castle This Thomas de Furnivall died on 12 May 1291 and completed by the same name left a son and heir, who was in 1295 by King Edward I appointed to the House of Lords and thus a hereditary Barony as Thomas de Furnivall, 1st Baron Furnivall founded.

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 Upper House ( 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 newly-created title remained first in the family to Furnivall 1407. Afterwards went over the female succession in the Talbot Earls of Shrewsbury family over until it fell in 1616 for lack of a male heir in Abeyance. In 1651 the barony of Howard Alathea than 13 Baronss Furnivall was restituted as sole surviving heir. The title then remained in the family until 1777 Howard when he again fell into Abeyance after the death of the 9th Duke of Norfolk .. The title rested since 1777 until 1913 by Mary Dent, 19th Baroness Furnivall, successfully as heir again was claimed. Since her death in 1968 the title is again dormant.
