Awards
The title was first created on December 29, 1299 as Barony by writ for John de Sudeley , lord of Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire , when he was called to the royal parliament by Writ of Summons . When his great-grandson, the 3rd Baron, died childless on August 11, 1367, the title fell in Abeyance between his sisters Joan Boteler († 1367) and Margery Massey († 1379) and fell with the childless death of the latter on May 14, 1379 de iure to the only son of the former as 4th baron. However, he and his two older sons, the de iure 5th and 6th barons, never obtained formal recognition of the title and were never invited to parliament. His youngest son, the de iure 7th Baron, was Lord Chamberlain of the Household and was raised again to Baron Sudeley on September 10, 1441 by Letters patent in the second bestowal in the Peerage of England . When he died childless on May 2, 1473, the baron title of 1441 expired and the title of 1299 fell in Abeyance between the descendants of his only sister Elizabeth.
On July 12, 1838, the title Baron Sudeley , of Toddington in the County of Gloucester, was newly created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom for Charles Hanbury-Tracy in the third bestowal . Today's title holder has been his great-great-grandson Merlin Hanbury-Tracy as 7th Baron since 1941 .
