Baron Audley
Baron Audley was a hereditary British title of nobility awarded several times in the Peerage of England .
Awards
The title was created on January 8, 1313 for Nicholas Audley of Heleigh when he was convened to Parliament by Writ of Summons . To distinguish it from later awards, the title is also called Baron Audley of Heleigh . On the death of his grandson, the title in Abeyance fell between his sisters and was finally restored on October 20, 1408 for the grandson of the older sister as 4th Baron. His great-great-great-great-grandson, the 11th Baron, was raised on September 6, 1616 in the Peerage of Ireland to Earl of Castlehaven and Baron Audley , of Orier in the County of Armagh. His son, the 2nd Earl, was executed for sodomy in 1631 and his title of English baron from 1313 was revoked. His son, the 3rd Earl, was bestowed the title of Baron Audley of Hely on June 3, 1633, with precedent for his grandfather in the Peerage of England . When this award seemed insufficient to replace the titles that had been revoked from his father, they were restored to him in 1678. With the exception of the baron title of 1313, all of his titles were inheritable only in the male line and expired on the death of his great-great-great-grandson, the 8th Earl, on April 22nd, 1777, Baron fell. At the death of his grandson, the 21st baron, the title fell in Abeyance in 1872 between his two daughters, of whom the elder succeeded him in 1937 as the 22nd baroness. This was followed by her second-degree great-uncle as the 23rd baron, his sister as the 24th baron and her cousin as the 25th baron. When the latter died in 1997, the title in Abeyance fell between his three daughters and has been on hold ever since.
On November 20, 1317, a cousin of the 1st Baron Audley of Heleigh, Sir Hugh de Audley , was summoned to Parliament by Writ of Summons , giving him an independent title of Baron Audley . This was raised on March 16, 1337 to Earl of Gloucester . In contrast to the Barony by writ, the Earldom was not inheritable in the female line, so that it was extinguished on his death in 1347, while the barony fell to his only daughter as the 2nd Baroness. Their son inherited the titles of 2nd Earl of Stafford and 3rd Baron Stafford from his father . The 6th Earl was raised to Duke of Buckingham in 1444 . The title of the 2nd Duke was revoked for high treason in 1483, restored in 1485 for his son as the 3rd Duke, and in 1521 he was finally revoked and expired for high treason.
In addition, the father of Baron Hugh Audley of Stratton Audley, created in 1317 , was also called to Parliament as Baron Audley by Writ of Summons on May 15, 1321 . To distinguish it from his son, his title is also called Baron Audley of Stratton Audley . The baron participated in the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster ( Despenser War ) in 1321/22 , was captured in 1322 and his title was revoked.
On November 29, 1538, the Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas Audley was raised to Baron Audley of Walden by Letters patent . Since he had no sons, the title expired on his death on April 30, 1544.
