The title Baron Berkeley has been created twice in the Peerage of England, both times by writ. It was first granted to Sir Thomas de Berkeley in 1295, but the title of that creation became extinct at the death of the fifth Baron, when no heirs to the barony remained. The next creation was in 1421, for James Berkeley. His successor William was created Viscount Berkeley in 1481, Earl of Nottingham in 1483, and Marquess of Berkeley in 1488, all of which became extinct at his death. The barony, however, passed in a different line. The ninth Baron was created Earl of Berkeley, and the earldom and barony remained united until the death of the sixth Earl. Then, the earldom passed to a male heir, but the barony passed to a female one, Louisa Milman. At Louisa's death, the barony went to Eva Mary Foley, upon whose death the barony fell into abeyance. The abeyance was terminated a few years later in favour of Mary Lalle Foley-Berkeley. Upon her death, the barony went to Anthony Gueterbock, who is the present holder. In 2000, he was created Baron Gueterbock for life in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
