Encyclopedia > Baron Cobham
Jump to: navigation, search

The title Baron Cobham has been created numerous times in the Peerage of England; often multiple creations have been extant simultaneously, especially in the fourteenth century. The earliest creation was in 1313 for Henry de Cobham, who hailed from the county of Kent. The eleventh baron was attainted in 1603, but the peerage became abeyant instead of becoming extinct. In 1916 the attainder was removed and abeyance terminated in favor of the fifteenth baron. Note that the twelfth through fourteenth barons never actually held the title. This creation became abeyant again in 1951. The Peerage of England comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of England before the Act of Union in 1707. ...

In 1324 Sir Ralph de Cobham was summoned to parliament as Baron Cobham, but this creation became extinct roughly a year later on his death. In 1326 Stephen Cobham was summoned to parliament, again as Baron Cobham. This Cobham came from Rundale, and was apparently of no relation to Sir Ralph. This creation became abeyant no later than 1429. A further creation came in 1342, when Reginald de Cobham was summoned to parliament. However, this creation became extinct on the death of the second baron in 1403.

Henry Brooke, 8th Baron Cobham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (446 words)
Henry Brooke, 8th Baron Cobham (November 22, 1564 – January 24, 1618 (Old Style)/February 3, 1619 (New Style)) was a English peer and traitor who was implicated in the Main Plot against the rule of James I of England.
Cobham and Grey were to raise one-hundred and sixty thousand pounds (a figure that could be safely multiplied by twenty to convert to contemporary money) to bribe or hire an army.
Cobham was to be the go-between with the Count of Aremberg, which would negotiate with the Spanish court for the money.
