In the Wars of the Roses he fought on the side of the House of York and was therefore stripped of his title for high treason in 1485.

On November 20, 1348, a second Barony Lovel was created for Richard Lovel in the Peerage of England, parallel to the former , by also being appointed to the House of Lords by Writ of Summons . To distinguish it from the former title, this is also called Baron Lovel, of Castle Cary , after his residence at Cary Castle in Somerset . This title expired when he died childless on January 31, 1351.

On May 28, 1728, the title Baron Lovell , of Minster Lovel in the County of Oxford , was recreated for Thomas Coke in the Peerage of Great Britain . This was also elevated to Earl of Leicester and Viscount Coke on May 9, 1744 . His titles expired on his childless death on April 20, 1759.
