Baron Badlesmere

The title Baron Badlesmere was created once in the Peerage of England. On 26 October 1309 Bartholomew de Badlesmere, Governor of Bristol Castle, was summoned to Parliament, creating a barony by writ. In 1322 he was attainted and executed for joining the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster, and the barony was forfeited. In 1328, the attainder was reversed for his heir, Giles de Badlesmere, his only son. On the death of the 2nd Baron, however, the barony became abeyant in 1338. Its representation follows the same line of the one of Baron de Ros.

    My lusts they do me leave,
    My fancies all be fled,

    Grey hairs upon my head.
