Thomas West, 2nd Baron De La Warr

Thomas West, 2nd (or 11th) Baron De La Warr (c.1556–1602) succeeded his father, who had been created Baron De La Warr by letters patent. In 1597 he petitioned the House of Lords to have the precedence of the original barony, 1299, on the basis that he actually held the ancient peerage. After his claim was admitted, he sometimes referred to himself as 11th baron.
