Baron FitzAlan


The title Baron FitzAlan has been created twice in the Peerage of England.

1295 creation

The first creation was in 1295, when Bryan FitzAlan, Lord FitzAlan was summoned to Parliament as Lord FitzAlan. On his death in 1306, the peerage fell into abeyance between his two daughters.

1627 Act of Parliament

In 1627 an Act of Parliament was passed “for the annexing of the Castle, &c., of Arundel, with the titles and dignities of the Baronies of FitzAlan of Clun and Oswaldestre and Maltravers, and with divers other lands, &c., being now parcels of the possessions of Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, &c., to the same title, name, and dignity of Earl of Arundel.” "From this period, therefore, the Baronies
of Clun and Oswestry, which
hitherto had been mere feudal Lordships, may possibly be considered as separate
Peerage dignities, and as being, together with Maltravers, annexed to
the Earldom of Arundel." Any Barony so created is held by the Duke of Norfolk.
