The title Baron Grey, of Codnor in the County of Derby, is an old one in the Peerage of England. It was created by writ when Sir Henry Grey was summoned to Parliament in 1299. In 1496, the title became abeyant at the death of another baron named Henry Grey. It stayed abeyant for about 493 years, until it was terminated by the Sovereign in favour of Charles Cornwall-Legh in 1989. At the time of termination, the barony was assigned a precedence of 1397, rather than 1299, and it was held that Richard Grey was the first Baron to hold the title, despite his ancestors having been summoned to Parliament in right of the peerage earlier. The Greys of Codnor are in fact considered senior representatives of the "great house of Grey", as far back as the Lords Grey of 1199, when they purchased the manor of Grays Thurrock. In recognition of this,in heraldry they bear the undifferenced Grey arms of barry of six, argent and azure. Jump to: navigation, search Image File history File links Arms_Grey_of_Codnor. ...
