Baron Tara

Baron Tara

Baron Tara was a title that was created twice in the Peerage of Ireland, becoming extinct on the death of the two holders.

It was created for the first time in 1691 in favour of the soldier Meinhardt Schomberg, younger son of Frederick Schomberg, 1st Duke of Schomberg. He was made "Earl of Bangor" and "Duke of Leinster" at the same time.

It was created for a second in time in 1800 in favour of John Preston, who was made Baron Tara, of Bellinter. He was a descendant of a younger brother of Thomas Preston, 1st Viscount Tara, who himself was the second son of Christopher Preston, 4th Viscount Gormanston. However, Lord Tara was childless and the title became extinct on his death in 1821.
