Baron de ros

Robert de Ros , one of the active supporters of Simon de Montfort , was called to the parliament on December 24, 1264 ^[1] . Since Montfort did not actually act on behalf of the king, in subsequent times there was an active discussion about whether this event should be considered the beginning of the Baronia de Ros or the call to parliament of Robert's son, William, Edward I in 1299 . The title holders repeatedly asked for recognition of Robert the first Baron de Ros, and only in 1806 did they reach a positive decision ^[2] . This meant that Baronia de Ros was officially the oldest in England, and the Lords de Ros received the honorary title of the first barons of the kingdom.

House de Ros faded away in 1508 . The title moved along the female line to the Menners; in 1591 he passed to Cecil, and in 1663 to the Villiers in the person of the second Duke of Buckingham . The latter died childless in 1687 , and his titles went into a state of expectation. Baronia de Ros was transferred in 1806 to the Fitzgeralds. In the XX century there were two more short periods when the title did not belong to anyone - in 1939 - 1943 and 1956 - 1958 . Currently, it belongs to Peter Trevor Maxwell (born in 1958 ), who is the twenty-eighth baron de Ros. Baron's heir is the son, Finbar James Maxwell.
