This was never a Peerage dignity, but was assumed (together with the Baronies of Mowbray and Segrave) by "William (Berkeley), Marquess of Berkeley, (so cr. 1488) who, in right of his mother (Isabel Mowbray), was a co-representative of the latter Baronies. According to Smyth's Berkeleys, vol. ii, p. 99, his style {inter alia) was " Lord of Mowbray and Segrave and Baron of Bedford. Q') The site of Bedford Castle, the chief seat of the family of Beauchamp as to their Barony of Bedford, descended to the Marquess, (through the marriage of Maud, eldest of the 3 daughters and coheirs of William de Beauchamp, with Roger de Mowbray, of which Maud his Lordship was but a fo-representative) and was by him alienated to Sir Reginald Bray,('=) since which time the style of "Baron of Bedford " has never been adopted by the Berkeley family. BEERHAVEN see BEREHAVEN (*) See vol. vi, Appendix H {area fineni), for some remarks on the Bedford property as compared with that of holders of 100,000 acres and upwards. (*") A practice arose among the early nobles of adopting the style of various baronies to which they fancied they might be entitled and to which (in some cases) they were actually w-hcirs. Such was the case in this instance, and, again, later on, in the same family, when Henry, Lord Berkeley (i 534-1613) adopted the style of Lord Braose, in addition to the already assumed titles of Lord Mowbray and Segrave, he being but a fo-heir to any of those Baronies; so also many of the Earls of Oxford, 1 245-1 703, adopted the style of '■'■ Lord Bolebec" and subsequently of '■^ Lord BadUsmere" i^c.
