Baron Deincourt


Baron Deincourt was a title which was created twice in the Peerage of England. The first creation is in abeyance and the second creation was forfeited.

History

The first creation was by writ on 6 February 1299 in the reign of Edward I when Edmund Deincourt was summoned to the House of Lords. It went into abeyance on his death in 1327.
The second creation was on 27 January 1332 in the reign of Edward III when William Deincourt, nephew of the above, was also summoned to Parliament. The title then passed down in the family to William Deincourt, the fifth Baron and went into abeyance on his death in 1422. The fifth baron had two sisters, but when his sister Margaret died without issue the abeyance was terminated in favor of his sister Alice, before passing to her grandson Francis Lovell, 1st Viscount Lovell. The barony was forfeited with Lovell's attainder in 1487.
