Awards and history of the title

First award

The first Baron Latymer was William Latimer , who first participated in the English Parliament in 1290 . Since it can only be proven at Parliament in 1299 that he also received a Writ of Summons , it is not until 1299 that the award date is considered. His great-grandson, the 4th baron, who had no sons, left the title of his daughter Elizabeth as 5th baroness in 1381. She married first John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby and in the second marriage Robert Willoughby, 4th Baron Willoughby de Eresby . She was followed in 1395 by her son from her first marriage, John Nevill , as 6th Baron. On his childless death in 1430, he left his lands to his half-brother from a previous marriage of his father, Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland . From today's perspective, however, the formal claim to the barony fell through the son of the already deceased sister of the 6th Baron, Elizabeth Neville, who had married her stepbrother from the second marriage of her mother Sir Thomas Willoughby, to her son John Willoughby as de iure 7 .Baron. However, he and his descendants never effectively claimed the title and were never invited to parliaments as Barons Latymer. His great-grandson, the de iure 9th Baron Latymer, was raised to Baron Willoughby de Broke by Writ of Summons in 1492 . At the death of his son, the 2nd Baron Willoughby de Broke, de iure 10th Baron Latymer, in 1492 both titles fell in Abeyance . This Abeyance continues to this day with regard to this Barony of Latymer.

Second award

In addition to the first baron, his nephew Thomas Latimer , the son of his younger brother John Latimer, was convened for the parliament of 1299 by Writ of Summons and thus a second Latymer barony was established from today's perspective. However, Thomas Latimer was only called to parliaments until 1308 and none of his descendants held the title or took part in parliaments. His line of heirs can be traced back to Sir Griffin Markham, who was ostracized for high treason in 1603 , with which the title was forfeited and expired at the latest.

Third award

A third Barony of Latymer came into being on February 25, 1432, when George Nevill, a younger son of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland , was called to the House of Lords as Baron Latymer with a Writ of Summons . At the death of his great-great-grandson, the 4th Baron, in 1577, who left no sons, the title in Abeyance fell between his four daughters. Since these daughters themselves had numerous descendants, the barony remained dormant for centuries until it was restituted to him as 5th Baron Latymer in 1913 at the request of Francis Money-Coutts-Nevill , a descendant of the eldest daughter of the third daughter of the last title holder . Today his great-great-grandson Crispin Money-Coutts holds the title as 9th Baron.
