Baron Eure

Baron Eure was a title in the Peerage of England.

It was granted to Sir William Eure by Henry VIII in 1544.

[4][5] He was succeeded by his grandson, William, 2nd Lord Eure (son of Ralph, heir of the 1st Baron, who was killed at the battle of Ancrum Moor), who died 1570 during the reign of Elizabeth I,[6][7] leaving his son, Ralph, 3rd Lord Eure, father of William, 4th Lord Eure, who was succeeded by his grandson, William, 5th Lord Eure (son of Ralph), who was succeeded by his uncle, William, 6th Lord Eure, slain at the battle of Marston-Moor, 1645, leaving only daughters.

He was succeeded by his brother, Ralph, 8th Lord Eure; on whose death without issue, the honour became extinct.

[8] Arthur Collins in 1812 briefly described the baronage with eight barons,[8] as did John Preston Neale in 1823 and John Burke in 1831,[9][10] however The Gentleman's Magazine, for August 1817, includes two not three Williams between Ralph Eure and George Eure which makes George the 6th Baron Eure not the 7th as in Collins,[11] and some other sources also state that George and Ralf (the last Baron Eure), were the 6th and 7th barons.
