Baron Audley

|
The title Baron Audley was created in 1313 by writ. The eleventh baron was created Earl of Castlehaven, and the barony and earldom remained united until the death of the eighth earl, when the earldom became extinct, and the barony went to George Thicknesse, later Thicknesse-Tuchet. In 1997, the title went into abeyance, and, as of 2004, remains there.
