Baron Lyttelton

Baron Lyttelton is a barony in the British peerage, which has been created twice, though both times to the same family, being awarded to William Henry Lyttelton in 1794 some fifteen years after his nephew, Thomas Lyttelton, died without legitimate issue. In 1888, Charles George Lyttelton, 5th Baron Lyttelton, succeeded to the Viscounty of Cobham, after the death of the 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, and into which title the Barony is now merged. The holder is also a baronet in the Baronetage of England; which title dates from 1618.
