Baron Baltimore, of Baltimore Manor in County Longford, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1624 for George Calvert and became extinct on the death of the sixth Baron in 1771. The title was held by several members of the Calvert family who were proprietors of the palatinates Avalon in Newfoundland and Maryland (later the U.S. state of Maryland). In the context of United States history, the name ''Lord Baltimore'' usually refers to Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore after whom the city of Baltimore, Maryland, is named. His younger brother Leonard Calvert was the first Governor of Maryland. As members of the Irish peerage, the Lords Baltimore were able to sit in the British House of Commons. Irish peerages were often used as a way of creating peerages which did not grant a seat in the British House of Lords and so allowed the grantee to sit in the House of Commons in London. As a consequence, many Irish peers had little or no connection to Ireland. ==Barons Baltimore and "Lords Baltimore" (1625 to 1771/1776/1835)== * Sir George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore and "Lord Baltimore", (1579–1632), * Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, (1605–1675), * Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore, (1637–1715), * Benedict Leonard Calvert, 4th Baron Baltimore, (1679–1715), * Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, (1699–1751), * Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore, (1731–1771), * Henry Harford, (illegitimate son), (1758/1760–1835), (5th and Last Lord Proprietor of the Province of Maryland, 1771–1776). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baron Baltimore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
