Lord Beaumont

The title of Baron Beaumont is an ancient one in the Peerage of England, created in 1309 for a younger part of the de Brienne-family. The sixth Baron Beaumont was created Viscount Beaumont in 1342; after the death of the 2nd Viscount both titles fell into abeyance. In the 19th century the barony was restored for Miles Thomas Stapleton who became 8th Baron Beaumont. The 17th Duke of Norfolk gained the title by inheritance, so the title became a subsidiary title of the Dukes of Norfolk.
