Baron Verulam

Baron Verulam

The title Baron Verulam was created in two separate and unrelated instances, first in the Peerage of England then in the Peerage of Great Britain. It was firstly created for the English philosopher and statesman Sir Francis Bacon (who was later created Viscount St Albans), and secondly created for the Viscounts Grimston (who were in the Peerage of Ireland). The first creation became extinct upon Bacon's death in 1626, while the second creation is still extant.
