Viscount Hampden
Viscount Hampden is a hereditary British title of nobility that was created once in the Peerage of Great Britain and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom .
Awards
The title was first awarded on June 14, 1776 in the Peerage of Great Britain to the diplomat and politician Robert Hampden, 4th Baron Trevor . He held the post of Postmaster General for several years . In 1764 he had inherited the title of 4th Baron Trevor from his brother , which was given to his father in 1712. The barony was henceforth listed as a subordinate title of the respective Viscount. Both titles expired in 1824 with the death of the 3rd Viscount.
The second award was on March 4, 1884 in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, the title Viscount Hampden , of Glynde in the County of Sussex , to the liberal politician and longtime Speaker of the House of Commons Sir Henry Brand . When his older brother died in 1890, he inherited the title of 23rd Baron Dacre , an old English barony from 1321. When the 4th Viscount died in 1965 without male descendants, the Viscount dignity fell to his younger brother. In contrast, the title of Baron Dacre could also be inherited in the female line and fell between his daughters Rachel and Tessa in Abeyance . The Viscount's second award family home is Glynde Place near Lewes in Sussex .
In both awards, the female titleholders descend from John Hampden († 1643), a leader of the bourgeois revolution during the English Civil War .
