Baron Strange
Baron Strange is a hereditary British title of nobility created four times as Barony by writ in the Peerage of England .
Awards
First awarded in 1299
The title was first created in 1299 for John Lestrange (1254-1309) when he was appointed to the English Parliament by King Edward I by Writ of Summons , which established a hereditary baron dignity. Strictly speaking, the title is only called Baron Strange to distinguish it from the other, parallel Baronies Strange, the title is also called Baron Strange of Knockin after the original ancestral seat of the barons, Knockin Castle .
The title was passed on in the Lestrange family until 1513/14 when Joan Lestrange, the heir to the house and 9th Baroness Strange, died and the title passed to her son, Thomas Stanley, 2nd Earl of Derby . The title fell after the sonless demise of the 5th Earl of Derby and 13th Barons Strange, Ferdinando Stanley in Abeyance in 1594 . This limbo lasted until 1921, when Elisabeth Abney-Hastings, wife of the 1st Viscount St. Davids , was successfully petitioned for the title and 14th Baroness Strange. Her great grandson, the 4th Viscount St. David, has been the 17th Baron Strange since 2009.
Second award 1309
A cousin of the 1st Baron Strange of Knockin, Fulk Lestrange , was also appointed to Parliament on January 13, 1309 by King Edward II's Writ of Summons , creating a second, parallel title Baron Strange . The title is also called Baron Strange of Blackmere .
When the 5th Baron died in 1375, the title fell to his daughter Elizabeth Mowbray, née Lestrange. When she died childless in 1383, the title fell to her aunt Ankaret Talbot, née Lestrange, and on her death in 1421 to her son Gilbert Talbot , who was already fifth Baron Talbot . At his death in 1419, both baronies fell to his daughter Ankaret Talbot and at her death in 1421 to her uncle John Talbot, 6th Baron Furnivall , who was elevated to Earl of Shrewsbury in 1442 and Earl of Waterford in 1446 . When the 7th Earl died on May 8, 1616, his baronies fell by writ in Abeyance between his three daughters Mary Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, Elizabeth Gray, Countess of Kent, and Alethea Howard, Countess of Arundel. The Abeyance was ended in 1651 in favor of Alethea, who received the titles 17th Baroness Strange of Blackmere and 13th Baroness Furnivall . At her death in 1654 she was inherited by her grandson Thomas Howard, 5th Duke of Norfolk . At the death of the 9th Duke and 22nd Baron Strange of Blackmere on September 20, 1777, his Baronies by writ fell again in Abeyance. Co-heirs are the descendants of his two nieces Winifred, Lady Stourton, and Ann, Lady Petre.
Third award 1326
On December 3, 1326, a younger son of the 1st Baron Strange of Knockin, Ebulo Lestrange, was appointed to Parliament by King Edward II's Writ of Summons, creating a third Baron Strange .
The baron died childless on September 8, 1335, whereby his title expired.
Fourth award 1628
In the fourth award, the title was created on March 7, 1628 for James Stanley , later the 7th Earl of Derby , in which he was appointed to Parliament by King Charles I through a Writ of Summons . This award was due to a procedural error . Charles I actually wanted to give him a title from his father prematurely by means of Writ of Acceleration , wrongly assuming that James Stanley's father, William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby , was also the owner of the Barony Strange (of Knockin) created in 1299. This error was based on the fact that several Earls of Derby before him had actually been the legal owners of this old barony; the last was Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby. This had no sons, but only three daughters, so that only the earl title passed to the next male title heir (here the 6th Earl), but not the Barony Strange of 1299, which fell in Abeyance.
The priority entitlement of the three daughters of the 5th Earl of Derby was overlooked at the Writ of Summons to James Stanley, but was subsequently determined. Since the mistake could not be reversed through the legally valid, albeit erroneous, appointment of James Stanley to the House of Lords, on the other hand it was not about the old barony of 1299, since its rights were with the daughters of the 5th Earl and their descendants This Writ of Summons from 1628 also represented the creation of another Barony Strange.
After his death, the barony was passed on to his biological descendants; it initially remained in the Stanley family and was then owned by the respective Duke of Atholl for a long time . Today's title holder has been Adam Drummond, 17th Baron Strange, since 2005.
