Encyclopedia

, created in 1368.
The title was created by writ of summons, by Edward III
to William de Botreaux, 1st Baron Botreaux
(d.1391) in 1368.
In 1462, Margaret de Botreaux, 4th Baroness Botreaux, the 3rd Baron's daughter inherited the title and, because she outlived both her son and grandson, it then passed on her death to her great-granddaughter, Mary Hungerford
, as 5th Baroness Botreaux. Mary Hungerhord married William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings
in about 1478 and their son George
was created Earl of Huntingdon
in 1529.
From the death of the 5th Baroness in around 1532, the title of remained with the Earls of Huntingdon for 214 years. In 1746 the 9th Earl of Huntingdon
died and it passed to his daughter, Elizabeth Rawdon as 16th Baroness Botreaux. Elizabeth Rawdon married John Rawdon, 1st Earl of Moira
and their son Francis
was ceated Marquess of Hastings
in 1817.
From the death of the 16th Baroness in 1808, the title thus remained with the Marquesses of Hastings until 1844 when it became abeyant on the death of the 4th Marquess. The abeyance was then terminated in favour of the 4th Marquess's sister, Edith (who had already gained the title, 10th Countess of Loudoun
through her father's death). On her death in 1874, the title passed to Edith's son, the 11th Earl of Loudoun
and as he was childless, it then passed to his niece, Edith, the 12th Countess
. On the 12th Countess's death in 1960, the title fell into abeyance between her daughters.
