Baron Langdale

Baron Langdale was a title that was created twice in British history.

The first creation came in the Peerage of England on 4 February 1658 when the prominent royalist commander of the English Civil War, Sir Marmaduke Langdale, was made by Baron Langdale, of Holme.

He had fought alongside Prince Rupert and the Marquess of Newcastle at the Battle of Marston Moor, prior to the war he was the High Sheriff of Yorkshire and in later life a Catholic convert.

He had no heir as his only son had died as an infant and the title became extinct on his death in 1777.

The evangelical clergyman Edward Bickersteth was the younger brother of Lord Langdale.
