Welsh peers
Encyclopedia
This is an index of Welsh peers whose primary peerage
, life peerage, and baronetcy titles includes a Welsh place-name origin or its territorial qualification is within the historic counties of Wales.
Welsh-titled peers hold their titles from a variety of sources. After Llywelyn ap Gruffydd
of the House of Aberffraw
, the last Welsh Prince of Wales, was killed during the Edwardian Conquest in 1282, the Principality of Wales
was divided into English-style counties. Many of the former native titles were abolished, with some of the native Welsh lords given English titles in exchange for their loyalty. However, Welsh Law
remained in force in the principality
for civil cases, including for inheritance
. However, Edward I did reform Welsh succession to male preference primogeniture
, an amendment which facilitated the inheritance of English marcher lords to Welsh lands.
With the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542
Wales was formally annexed by England with the full implementation of English Common Law for civil cases. Both native Welsh and Marcher lord
ships were fully incorporated into the English Peerage
. Eventually, succeeding peerage divisions emerged. Currently, Wales does not form a separate peerage but is incorporated into the English, Great Britain, and finally the United Kingdom peerages. However, in 1793 the title Earl of the Town and County of Carnarvon in the Principality of Wales was created, the only mention of the Principality of Wales in a title. After the deposition by the English parliament in February 1689 of King James II and VII
from the thrones of England and Ireland (the Scottish Estates followed suit on April 11, 1689), he and his successors continued to create peers and baronets, which became known as the Jacobite Peerage
.
Some lords, like the Williams-Wynn Baronets
, the Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor
, and the Marquess of Anglesey
, make their principal seat
within Wales, while others, such as the Marquess of Abergavenny
outside Wales.
(traditional abbreviation Bart, modern abbreviation Bt) or the rare female equivalent, a baronetess (abbreviation Btss), is the holder of a hereditary title awarded by the British Crown known as a baronetcy.
The name baronet is a diminutive of the peerage title baron. The rank of a baronet is between that of a baron
and a knight
; it has never entitled the bearer to a seat in the House of Lords
, but it is hereditary.
