  • Following the attainder of the 1st Baron Darcy in 1537 the Barony of Darcy of Darcy or of Temple Hurst was forfeited. His eldest son was restored in blood by Act of Parliament 1548 to the dignity of Baron Darcy, to him and the heirs male of his body. It is unclear whether this Act of restoration was the restoration of the former Barony by writ (if so, then the limitation to heirs male would be invalid) or the creation of a new Barony. Certainly the new Baron Darcy took his place in the House of Lords as the junior baron and not in the 1509 precedence of the former Barony. However, matters are confused by his son taking his seat in the House of Lords in the precedence of the former Barony, which assumption seems to have been condoned by the House. We are following the precedent set by The Complete Peerage and treating the Act of restoration as the creation of a new Barony.
