Baron Monteagle

Baron Monteagle or Baron Mount Eagle is a title that has been created three times, once in the Peerage of England, once in the Peerage of Ireland and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

The first creation came in the Peerage of England in 1514 when Edward Stanley was summoned to the House of Lords as Lord Monteagle. He was the fifth son of Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby. The barony fell into abeyance on the death of the seventh Baron in 1697.

The second creation came in the Peerage of Ireland in 1760 when John Browne was made Baron Mount Eagle, of Westport in the County of Mayo. He was later created Earl of Altamont and is the ancestor of the Marquesses of Sligo. For more information, see the Marquess of Sligo.

The third creation came in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1806 when John Browne, 1st Marquess of Sligo, was created Baron Monteagle, of Westport in the County of Mayo. For more information, see the Marquess of Sligo.

In 1839 Thomas Spring Rice was made Baron Monteagle of Brandon. See this title for more information.
