The right to any hereditary Barony which by such summons (and sitting there- under) he would, according to the modern theory, have acquired, would have vested in his issue, none of whom were, however, sum. as Barons, till in 1486, his heir, was or. a Baron by patent.

( b ) To this Council the number of persons sum. was no less than 96, more than double the number of the Barons (40) in the Pari, of 1339 and 1340, of the Barons, (15) in 1341 and of the Barons (40) in 1343 See this subject ably discussed (with a spec, view to this Ralph Daubeny) by J. Horace Round, in Selby's " Genealogist," Vol. iv. pp. 42-46. ( c ) See letter of James Gairdner in the " Genealogist " as above. (■J) See "Creations, 1483-1646," in ap. of 47th Rep. D.K. Public Records. The limitation of the dignity is that, which in and since the 16th century (but not always before that, sec next note), was the usual one, viz., to the heir male of the body of the grantee. ( e ) Tins, appears to be the last of the 16 Baronies which were granted by patent before the 16th century and the reign of Henry VIII, since which time they have been frequent. These Baronies commence with that of Beauchamp of Kiduer- mixsteh,* cr. 1387, by Richard II. This is followed, after nearly 50 years, by the Baronies of Fanhope [Cornwall), 1433; Sudkley,* (Botelcr) 1441 ; Milbroke {Cormcall, Lord Fanhope), 1442 ; L'Isle ok Kingston Isle (Talbot), 1444 ; Beauchamp of Powyk,* 1447 ; Hoo and Hastings, (IIoo) 1447 ; Rivers* (Wideite), 1448 ; Stourton,* 1448 ; Hiohemount-Ghev (Gi-cy), 1449 ; Egremont {Percy), 1449 ; Dache (Fiennes), 1458; Montjoy* (Blount), 1465 ; Stafford, of Southwicke,* 1464; I/Isle of Kingston L'Isle (Grey), 1475 ; and Daubeney,* I486. The limitation of these Baronies is various, for while that of half the number (viz., those of 8 here marked with an asterisk*) is to the heir male of the body of the grantee ; that of 3 others (viz., Hoo, 1447 ; Richemount-Grey, 1449, and Egremont, 1449) is (tho', in all probability, meant to extend to the heir male of the body only) granted to the heir male ; that of 2 others (L'Isle, 1442, and L'Isle, 1475) embodies the old principle of the Barony by tenure, uud is to the heir while in possession of the territorial Barony, while that of the remaining 3 (Fauhope, 1433 ; Milbroke, 1442, and Dacre, 1458) is without any words
