Baron Brougham and Vaux

Baron Brougham and Vaux

Baron Brougham and Vaux, of Brougham in the County of Westmorland and of Highhead Castle in the County of Westmorland, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1860 for the lawyer, Whig politician and former Lord Chancellor Henry Brougham, with remainder to his younger brother William Brougham. He had already in 1830 been created Baron Brougham and Vaux, of Brougham in the County of Westmorland, with remainder to the heirs male of his body.

On his death in 1868 the barony of 1830 became extinct as he had no sons while he was succeeded in the barony of 1860 according to the special remainder by his brother William, the second Baron. He had earlier represented Southwark in the House of Commons. As of 2007 the title is held by his great-great-grandson, the fifth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1967. He is one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that were allowed to remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sits as a Conservative.
