Baron Bardolf (also Bardolph ) was a hereditary British title in the Peerage of England .

Awarding and further history of the title

The title was created on February 6, 1299 for Sir Hugh Bardolf , lord of Wormegay in Norfolk , when he was called to Parliament by King Edward I through Writ of Summons .

His great-great-grandson, the 5th Baron, joined the rebellion of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland , Thomas Mowbray, 2nd Earl of Nottingham and Richard le Scrope, Archbishop of York in 1405 , fled to Scotland after their failure and was on Declared a traitor by Parliament on December 4, 1406 , which forfeited his title. Back in England he was finally killed in the Battle of Bramham Moor on February 19, 1408.

It is controversial whether the spouse of the younger daughter of the 5th Baron, Sir William Phelip (1383–1441), was reappointed to Parliament as Baron Bardolf by Writ of Summons on November 13, 1437 , and if so, whether this was a new award or Represents restoration of the title. In any case, he is not on the list of peers who were appointed to Parliament on September 26, 1439. He and after him the son of his only daughter, William Beaumont, 2nd Viscount Beaumont (1438–1507), also used the title Baron Bardolf .
