Lord Beaumont

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lord Beaumont currently properly refers only to the Duke of Norfolk as holder of the English Barony of Beaumont (created by writ in 1309). However, in a historical context, it can refer either to a past holder of that Barony or to a holder of one of the extinct Viscountcies of Beaumont:

It is sometimes improperly used to describe Timothy Beaumont, Baron Beaumont of Whitley, a life peer, who is properly described only as Lord Beaumont of Whitley.
