The title of Baron Norreys of Rycote had been created by Writ in 1572 for '''Sir Henry Norris''', who notably served as English Ambassador to France. His grandson, the second Baron, was created '''Viscount Thame''' and '''Earl of Berkshire''' in 1621 . Lord Berkshire died without male issue when the Viscountcy and Earldom became extinct. However, he was succeeded in the Barony by his daughter Elizabeth, who in her turn was succeeded by her daughter Bridget (see above). In 1938 the eighth Earl of Abingdon claimed the Earldom Of Lindsey on the death of his distant relative Montague Peregrine Albemarle Bertie, 12th Earl Of Lindsey . He was finally confirmed in the title in 1951 . The titles have remained united ever since. BARONS NORREYS OF RYCOTE ( 1572 )
