Baron Furnivall
Baron Furnivall is a hereditary British title in the Peerage of England .
Award
The title was created on June 23, 1295 by King Edward I for Sir Thomas de Furnivall , when he was appointed to Parliament by Writ of Summons . As Barony by writ , the title can also be inherited in the female line if there are no sons. In 1453, the 7th Baron inherited the title Earl of Shrewsbury from his father John Talbot , which he had been awarded in 1442. On the death of his descendant, the 7th Earl, on May 8, 1616, the Earldom was extinguished for lack of a male heir, the barony fell in Abeyance between his three daughters Mary Herbert, Countess of Pembroke († 1649),Elizabeth Gray, Countess of Kent († 1651) and Alethea Howard, Countess of Arundel († 1654). When the former two had died in 1651 with no offspring, the barony was restored on December 7, 1651 for the latter as the 13th baroness.
Their grandson, who later became the 14th Baron, had inherited the titles 23rd Earl of Arundel , 6th Earl of Surrey and 3rd Earl of Norfolk in 1652 from his father , and in 1660 he had the title of 5th Duke of Norfolk restored to his Favor. In the childless death of his descendants, the 9th Duke, the Dukedom and the Earldoms fell to his closest male relative Charles Howard (1720–1786) as the 10th Duke, while the Barony Furnivall in Abeyance between the two daughters of his brother Philip Howard namely Winifrede, Lady Stourton, and Anne, Lady Petre.
The latter was the great-great-grandmother of Bernard Petre, 14th Baron Petre , for whose only daughter Mary Dent the title was restored in 1913 as 19th Baroness Furnivall. Since she had no sons, the title fell again on her death on December 24, 1968 in Abeyance between her two daughters Rosamond Dent (* 1933) and Patricia Mary Bence (* 1935). Since Rosamond Dent, as a nun, has no heirs, the title will presumably fall to Patricia Mary Bence or her eldest son, Francis Walton Petre Hornsby (* 1958), upon her death.
