Baron Brougham and Vaux is a hereditary British title of nobility , which was awarded twice in the Peerage of the United Kingdom .
Awards
On November 22, 1830, the title of Baron Brougham and Vaux , of Brougham in the County of Westmorland , was bestowed on the Whig politician Henry Brougham , on the occasion of his appointment as Lord Chancellor .
After it was obvious that he would have no sons, the title Baron Brougham and Vaux , of Brougham in the County of Westmorland and of High Head Castle in the County of Cumberland , was conferred on him on March 22, 1860 , but now with a special note that, in the absence of male descendants of his own, the title could also be passed on to his younger brother and his male descendants. The title of the first award expired with the death of the first baron in 1868, while the title of the second award persists.
