An Irish feudal barony is a customary title of nobility. It is the Irish equivalent of a Scottish feudal barony. The holder of an Irish feudal barony was, and is, always referred to as a Baron, but was not necessarily the holder of a peerage. As a result, Irish Feudal Barons had no right to sit in the Irish House of Lords in their own right. In 1614 the Dublin Government noted that there were "diverse gentlemen" in Ireland who were called Baron, yet: "Never was any of them Lord Baron nor summoned to any Parliament".[1]
