- Robert Dormer, 1st Baron Dormer
Robert Dormer, 1st Baron Dormer (26 January 1551-8 November 1616), was an English peer.
Dormer was the son of Sir William Dormer and his wife Dorothy (née Catesby). In June 1615 he was created a Baronet, of Wing (or Wyng or Wemme). Only a few weeks later he was raised to the peerage as Baron Dormer, of Wenge in the County of Buckingham. He married the Hon. Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu, in circa 1590. Lord Dormer died in November 1616, aged 65, and was succeeded in his titles by his grandson Robert, who was created Earl of Carnarvon in 1628.
