Baron Clifton

Baron Clifton, of Leighton Bromswold in the County of Huntingdon,[1][2] is a title in the Peerage of England.

[4] The peerage was created by writ, which means that it can descend through both male and female lines.

Lord Clifton died without surviving male issue and was succeeded by his daughter Katherine, the second Baroness.

The dukedom became extinct (although this has later been questioned; see the Earl of Darnley) while the barony was passed on to the Duke's sister Katherine, the seventh Baroness.

[4][6] The title of Baron Clifton "of Buckenham Castle, Norfolk" was created in 1376 and became extinct in 1447.
