Talk:Baron Burghersh

Succession to the barony
Leigh (or rather his source) is off the mark in both cases. The existence of Stephen de Burghersh is attested, and so the peerage of 1303 cannot have been extinct, only dormant. As for the 1330 creations, the attainder can't be ignored: Richard could have inherited nothing from his attainted father, and was never Baron Burghersh. Since the barony was never held again after 1409, unless we start explicitly tracking the heirs of peerages under attainder, etc., I'm going to roll back the changes.
