Encyclopedia > Baron de Clifford

The Barons de Clifford were a notable family in late medieval England, their title dating to 1299. The Barons de Clifford were raised to become Earl of Cumberland in the 16th century, but this title died out in the early 17th century. The title has since passed through several female lines.
