Baron Beauchamp was a hereditary British title of nobility bestowed seven times in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom .
Awards
The first time the title of Baron Beauchamp , of Somerset, was bestowed on December 29, 1299, John de Beauchamp was called to Parliament by Writ of Summons on December 29, 1299 . He was the owner of the feudal barony of Hatch Beauchamp in Somerset . At the death of his grandson, the 3rd Baron, on October 7, 1361, the title in Abeyance fell between his two sisters.
On November 25, 1350, the title of Baron Beauchamp , de Warwick , was bestowed on Sir John Beauchamp by Writ of Summons . The title expired on his death on December 2, 1360.
In the third award, the title of Baron Beauchamp , of Bletso , was recreated for Roger Beauchamp by Writ of Summons on June 1, 1363 . The title expired de facto when he died on January 3, 1380. His son and his descendants never claimed the title for unknown reasons.
On October 10, 1387, the title Baron Beauchamp , of Kidderminster , was newly created for Sir John de Beauchamp in the fourth bestowal . He was Steward of the Household under King Richard II. It was the first barony in the Peerage of England to be awarded by Letters Patent rather than Writ of Summons . On March 12, 1388, he was ostracized by the “Merciless Parliament” ( Bill of Attainder ) for high treason , and he was executed and his title stripped from him. In 1398 his son obtained the repeal of the ostracism and his reinstatement as 2nd baron. The repeal was revoked in 1400 and his title was finally revoked.
On May 2, 1447, the fifth bestowal title Baron Beauchamp , of Powick, was created by Letters patent for Sir John Beauchamp . The title expired on the death of his son, the 2nd baron, on January 19, 1503.
In the sixth bestowal was on January 13, 1559 by Letters Patent of the title Baron Beauchamp , of Hache, bestowed on Edward Seymour , together with the superior title Earl of Hertford . The addition "of Hache" refers to Hatch Beauchamp in Somerset, the seat of the first bestowal barons that Seymour had acquired. Since his eldest son died in 1612, his son William Seymour was his heir. He was appointed to Parliament as 2nd Baron Beauchamp in February 1621 by Writ of Acceleration , before he inherited the title of Earl when his grandfather died on April 6, 1621. In 1640 he was also awarded the title of Marquess of Hertford and in 1660 the title of 2nd Duke of Somerset , which his great-grandfather had been stripped of in 1552. The barony was henceforth a subordinate title of the respective duke until it expired when the 7th duke died on February 7, 1750.
On July 7, 1660, the title of Baron Beauchamp , of Beauchamp in the County of Devon , was bestowed on General George Monck in the seventh bestowal through Letters Patent from King Charles II . At the same time he was raised to Duke of Albemarle , Earl of Torrington , Baron Monck and Baron Teyes . The titles expired on the death of his son, the 2nd duke, on October 6, 1688.
Most recently, in the eighth bestowal on February 26, 1806 in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, the title of Baron Beauchamp , of Powycke in the County of Worcester , was bestowed on William Lygon . The territorial dedication of the title refers to the same place as the title of the fifth award. On December 1, 1815, he was also raised to Earl Beauchamp and Viscount Elmley . The barony was henceforth a subordinate title of the respective earl until the death of the 8th earl on January 3, 1979 all of his were extinguished.
