Baron Byron, of
Rochdale in the
County Palatine of Lancaster, is a title in the
Peerage of England. It was created in
1643, by
letters patent, for
Sir John Byron, a
Cavalier general and former
Member of Parliament. The peerage was created with remainder to the heirs male of his body, failing which, to his six brothers Richard, William, Thomas, Robert, Gilbert and Philip, and the heirs male of their bodies. Lord Byron died childless and was succeeded according to the special remainder by his next eldest brother Richard, the second Baron.
The latter's great-grandson, the fifth Baron, killed his cousin and neighbour William Chaworth in a duel on
26 January 1765. He was brought before his peers in the
House of Lords but under the statute of Edward VI he was found guilty only of
manslaughter and forced to pay a small fine. Byron henceforth became known as "the Wicked Lord" and "the Devil Byron".
He was succeeded by his great-nephew, George Gordon Byron, the sixth Baron, the famous
Romantic poet. He was the son of John "Mad Jack" Byron, son of
Vice-Admiral the Hon.
John "Foulweather Jack" Byron, second son of the fourth Baron and the younger brother of the fifth Baron. Lord Byron died without male issue and was succeeded by his first cousin, the seventh Baron. He was an
Admiral in the
Royal Navy.
On the death of his great-grandson, the eleventh Baron (who had succeeded his first cousin once removed in
1949), this line of the family failed. The late Baron was succeeded by his distant relative (his fifth cousin), the twelfth Baron. He was the great-great-great-grandson of Reverend the Hon. Richard Byron, third son of the fourth Baron. As of
2007 the title is held by his second son, the thirteenth Baron, who succeeded in
1989.
