Baron FitzWarine
Baron FitzWarine (also Fitz-Warine , FitzWarin , FitzWaryn or FitzWarren ) was a hereditary British title in the Peerage of England .
The family seat of the barons was Whittington Castle in Shropshire until 1545 .
Award and history of the title
The title was created on June 23, 1295 by King Edward I for Fulke FitzWarine when he was appointed to the royal parliament by Writ of Summons .
At the death of his great-great-great-great-grandson of the same name, the 7th Baron, on September 21, 1420, his male line of descendants became extinct and the title fell to his only sister Elizabeth, wife of Richard Hankford (around 1397–1431), as 8th. Baroness. When she died around 1428, the title fell in Abeyance between her two daughters Thomasine (1423-1453) and Elizabeth (around 1424-1433) and was restored when the latter died in 1433 for the former as the 9th baroness. Her spouse Sir William Bourchier (1407-1470) was appointed to Parliament in 1449 from her right as Baron Fitzwarine.
Her grandson, the 11th Baron, was made Earl of Bath on July 9, 1536 . The barony remained a subordinate title of the Earldom until it died on March 2, 1637 when his great-great-grandson, the 4th Earl, whose only son John had died in 1631. The barony then fell in Abeyance between his three daughters Anne, Elizabeth and Dorothy, while the Earldom fell to his cousin Sir Henry Bourchier (around 1587-1654). The Abeyance of the Barony FitzWarine continues to this day.
