Baron Segrave
Baron Segrave is a hereditary British title of nobility created twice in the Peerage of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom .
First award
The title was created on June 28, 1283 in the Peerage of England for Nicholas Segrave , when he was appointed to the royal parliament by Writ of Summons . The title is named after the place Seagrave in the Borough of Charnwood in Leicestershire . As Barony by writ , the title is also hereditary in the female line. The later 6th Baron also had the title of 5th Baron Mowbray in 1368 , which was created in 1283 by writ in the Peerage of England. The baronies Segrave and Mowbray have since been united. In 1377 he was raised to Earl of Nottingham , but the earl title expired when he died childless in 1382. The two baronies inherited from his brother Thomas Mowbray . This was raised to the Earl of Nottingham in 1383 and Duke of Norfolk in 1397 and inherited the title of Earl of Norfolk in 1399 . With the death of the 4th duke, the dukedom expired and the remaining titles passed to his daughter Anne Mowbray , upon whose death around 1481 the baronies Segrave and Mowbray fell in Abeyance and the other titles expired. The Abeyance was ended around 1484 in favor of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk . After he fell in Wars of the Roses , his titles were stripped of his title for high treason. The two baronies were only restored in 1554 for his great-great-grandson Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk , who was executed for high treason in 1572 and his titles were revoked again. The two baronies were restored in 1604 for his grandson Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel . With the death of his great-great-great-grandson, Edward Howard, 9th Duke of Norfolk , on September 20, 1777 the baronies Segrave and Mowbray fell again in Abeyance. This was ended in 1878 in favor of Charles Stourton, 20th Baron Stourton . The title Baron Stourton , of Stourton in the County of Wiltshire, was created in 1448 by writ in the Peerage of England. The baronies of Segrave, Mowbray and Stourton have since been united.
Further awards
With Writ of Summons of June 24, 1295, the younger son of the above 1st Baron, Nicholas Segrave, was appointed to the royal parliament and thus the independent title of Baron Segrave , of Barton Segrave and Stowe , was given to him. When he died on November 25, 1321 his daughter Maud de Bohun († 1335), who was married to Edmund de Bohun, son of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford , inherited him . The title expired when she died childless around 1334.
On September 10, 1831 William Fitzhardinge Berkeley was raised in the Peerage of the United Kingdom the title Baron Segrave , of Berkeley-castle in the County of Gloucester . On August 17, 1841, he was also awarded the title Earl FitzHardinge . Both titles expired when he died on October 10, 1857 without an heir.
