Baron Clifford

Baron Clifford

"The barony of this name has been in abeyance since 1858 – for the baronies with similar names that (as of 2005) remain extant see Baron Clifford of Chudleigh and Baron de Clifford"----Baron Clifford is a barony in the Peerage of England. It was created by writ on February 17 1628 for Henry Clifford. After his death, his daughter Elizabeth inherited the barony and was married to Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Burlington, 2nd Earl of Cork, who was subsequently created Baron Clifford of Lanesborough in 1644 (??presumably to provide Baroness Clifford's husband with similar status??). The Lanesborough Barony was thus united with the Earldom of Burlington until the death of the 3rd earl, when the earldom - and the Lanesborough Barony - became extinct. The Clifford Barony proper then was inherited by Charlotte Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington, the wife of the future 4th Duke of Devonshire. The barony was united with the dukedom until the death of William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, when the barony fell into abeyance, where it has remained.
