Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baronia Anglica Concentrata; Or a Concentrated Account of All Baronies Commonly Called Baronies in Fee, Vol. 1: Deriving Their Origin From Writ of Summons, and Not From Any Specific Limited Creation So many claims to ancient peerages, many of which had been dormant for centuries, having of late years been preferred to the Lords' Committees of Privileges for decision, the subject has excited a doubt whether in some instances the claimants have not been induced to come forward, relying more upon their influence, than the merits of their pretensions. The most of these titles aspired to have been those denominated Baronies by Writ, or as usually styled Baronies in Fee; being descendable to the heir female of an elder, before the heir male collateral of a younger branch. How sparing queen Elizabeth was in conferring the peerage honour is sufficiently manifested when it shall be stated that such men as Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper in 1559; Sir Thomas Bromley, Lord Keeper in 1579; Sir Christopher Hatton in 1587, Sir John Puckering in 1592, Sir Thomas Egerton in 1596, Sir Francis Walsingham, Sir Francis Knowleys, Sir John Perrot, (supposed a natural son of king Henry VIII.), Sir Philip and Sir Robert Sydney, Sir Francis and Sir Horace Vere, Sir Fulke Grevill, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake, Sir Robert Cecil, Sir Nicholas Throgmorton, Sir Walter Mildmay of Apthorp, Sir John Fortescue of Salden, Sir William Fitz William, Deputy of Ireland; Sir Thomas Smith, a most learned person; Sir Thomas Randolph, Sir James Croft, Governor of Berwick; Sir Henry Gates, Sir Roger Manwood, Chief Baron of the Exchequer; Sir Christopher Wray, a learned judge; Sir Henry Killigrew, Sir James Dyer, a judge; Sir William Pelham, Lord Justice of Ireland; Sir William Bingham, Marshall of Ireland; Sir Arthur Chichester, Sir Thomas Roper, Sir Henry Unton of Wadley, of the blood Royal; Sir Geffery Fenton, Sir Martin Frobisher, and Sir John and Sir Henry Hawkins, famous sea captains; with many other most eminent persons, distinguished by their merits, bravery, or their services, could never obtain promotion to the rank of Peerage Honour.
