Baron Herbert

It was created by writ in 1461 for William Herbert, who was later made Earl of Pembroke.

The barony, however, passed to his daughter Elizabeth, who later married the first Earl of Worcester.

At Elizabeth's death, the title passed to her son, who later inherited his father's earldom of Worcester.

Then, in 2002, Queen Elizabeth II terminated the abeyance of the barony of Herbert in favour of the last holder's great-nephew, David John Seyfried.

The heir apparent is the present holder's son the Hon.
