Baron Burghersh

The title of Baron Burghersh has been created twice in the Peerage of England.

It was created by writ for Robert de Burghersh on November 12, 1303. This creation became dormant after his death, passing into the family of Pavely or Paveley.

The title was created again by writ for Bartholomew de Burghersh on January 25, 1330. It descended through the families of le Despencer and Beauchamp, and became abeyant in 1449.
