Baron Conyers
The title Baron Conyers was created in the Peerage of England on 17 October 1509 for William Conyers, the son-in-law of William Neville, 1st Earl of Kent . The abeyance after the death of the 3rd baron was terminated for the 7th Baron Darcy de Knayth, these baronies were held together until the abeyance of 1888, after which the abeyance of these two baronies were separatively terminated. Since 1509, the Barons Conyers had held a part of the "right" to the barony Fauconberg, i.e. the part for which the abeyance was terminated in 1903; and since the termination of the abeyance of the barony Fauconberg, the two baronies, Conyers and Fauconberg, had been held together; and now they are abeyant between the two daughters of the 5th Earl of Yarborough; since the younger daughters does not seem to have children, and because the elder daughter seems to have no sons, the barony will also be abeyant between the two(?) daughters of the elder one.
The baronies Conyers and Darcy de Knayth originated the courtesy title of the eldest son of the Earl of Holdernesse as Lord Darcy and Conyers.
