Baron Badlesmere

Baron Badlesmere was a title in the Peerage of England.

On 26 October 1309 Bartholomew Badlesmere, Governor of Bristol Castle, was summoned to Parliament, regarded as 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 only son, Giles Badlesmere, who became the second and last baron.

Theoretically, the title remains "abeyant" between the descendants of his four sisters.
