Berkeley Baronets

Berkeley Baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for people named Berkeley, both in the Baronetage of England. The first was on 29 June 1611 for Henry Berkeley of Wymondham in Leicestershire, a descendant of Thomas Berkeley, younger son of Thomas de Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley. It became extinct at his death in about 1630. The second creation was on 2 July 1660, for Maurice Berkeley, eldest son of Sir Charles Berkeley, of Bruton in Somerset (who was descended from Maurice de Berkeley, 2nd Baron Berkeley). He succeeded his father as 3rd Viscount Fitzhardinge in 1668, and died 13 June 1690, when the baronetcy became extinct and the viscountcy passed to his younger brother, John Berkeley.
