DE LA WARR, or Delaware, an English barony, the holders
of which are descended from Roger de la Warr of Isfield, Sussex, who was
summoned to parliament as a baron in 1299 and the following years. He died
about 1320; his great-grandson Roger, to whom the French king John surrendered
at the battle of Poitiers, died in 1370; and the male line of the family
became extinct on the death of Thomas, 5th baron, in 1426.
The 5th baron's half-sister Joan married Thomas West, 1st Lord West (d. 1405), and in 1415 her second son Reginald (1394-1451) succeeded his brother Thomas as 3rd Lord West. After the death of his uncle Thomas, 5th Baron De La Warr, whose estates he inherited, Reginald was summoned to parliament as Baron La Warr, and he is thus the second founder of the family. His grandson was Thomas, 3rd (or 8th) baron (d. 1525), a courtier during the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII.; and the latter's son was Thomas, 4th (or 9th) baron (c. 1472 - 1 554). The younger Thomas was a very prominent person during the reigns of Henry VIII. and Edward VI. After serving with the English army in France in 151 3 and being present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, he rebuilt the house at Halnaker in Sussex, which he had obtained by marriage, and here in 1526 he entertained Henry VIII. "with great cheer." He disliked the ecclesiastical changes introduced by the king, and he was one of the peers who tried Anne Boleyn; later he showed some eagerness to stand well with Thomas Cromwell, but this did not prevent his arrest in 1538. He is said to have denounced "the plucking down of abbeys," and he certainly consorted with many suspected persons. But he was soon released and pardoned, although he was obliged to hand over Halnaker to Henry VIII., receiving instead the estate of Wherwell in Hampshire. He died without children in September 1554, when his baronies of De La Warr and West fell into abeyance. His monument may still be seen in the church at Broadwater, Sussex. |

This battle, fought on the ,9th of September 1356 between the armies of King John of France and Edward the "Black Prince," was the second of the three great English victories of the Hundred Years' War. From Bordeaux the prince had led an army of his father's Guienne vassals, with which there was a force of English archers and men-at-arms, into central France and had amassed an enormous booty. King John, hitherto engaged against the army of John of Gaunt duke of Lancaster, in Normandy, hurried south to intercept the raiding army and to bar its homeward road. The Black Prince, by forced marching, was able to slip past the French, but reaching Maupertuis, 7 m. south-east of Poitiers, with the king's army in chase, he found himself compelled to choose between fighting and abandoning his spoil. He chose the former course, in spite of the enemy's great superiority in numbers (16,000 to 6500), and in order to give his trains time to draw off took up a defensive position on the 18th of September, with a slight hollow in front and a wood behind, between the Poitiers-Bordeaux main road and the River Maussion.' John, instead of manoeuvring to envelop the English, allowed the Cardinal Talleyrand de Perigord to attempt to negotiate a peace. This proving vain, the French army attacked without any attempt at manoeuvre or reconnaissance, and on a front so narrow that the advantage of superior numbers was forfeited. Moreover, King John ordered all but the leading line to dismount and to attack on foot (tactics suggested by the success on the defensive of the dismounted English men-at-arms at Crecy and the Scots at Bannockburn), and thus condemned the best part of his army to a fatiguing advance on foot across difficult country in full armour. |
Earl De La Warr (pronounced "Dee - la - ware") is a title created in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1761.
The Earl holds the subsidiary titles of Viscount Cantelupe (1761) in the Peerage of Great Britain, Baron de la Warr (1572) in the Peerage of England, and Baron Buckhurst (1864) in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The barony de la Warr is of the second creation; however, it bears the precedence of the first creation, 1299, and has done so since shortly after the death of William West, 1st Baron De La Warr.
The precise legal situation concerning the second creation is a bit murky. The modern rules attempt to regularize medieval practice, but there are many cases that cannot be easily be made to fit, whether because a local custom was involved, or because an exception was made, or because the rules were still in flux. This is such a case.
William was heir male but not heir general. Because De La Warr was created by writ, descent is presumed to be to the heir (or heirs) general, wherefore it fell into abeyance between the daughters of Sir Owen West (and their heirs in turn). The second creation can be fairly viewed in at least three ways.
As a means of placing beyond dispute an inheritance that should have
gone to the heir male in the first place. The act concerning precedence
is understood as rectifying the side effect this had of altering the precedence.
Accordingly, some writers ignore the second creation when numbering: thus
Thomas West, 3rd Baron de la Warr is sometimes called 12th Baron de la
Warr.
As an extraordinary act resolving an important estate that should not
be left in abeyance. In this case, the previous barony was intended to
be extinguished (no authority suggests that there is a baron De Le Warre
still abeyant) and the act altering precedence is difficult to understand
other than as political expediency.
As a part of the effort to solve relatively complex problems of inheritance
case by case, before the doctrine of abeyance, as it now exists, had been
worked out.
In the United States, Thomas West, 3rd (or 12th) baron is often named
in history books simply as Lord Delaware. He served as governor of the
Jamestown Colony, and the Delaware Bay was named after him. The state of
Delaware, Delaware River and Delaware Indians were so called after the
bay, and thus ultimately derive their names from the barony.
The family seat is Buckhurst Park in Sussex.
Another member of the West family was William Cornwallis-West. He was
the grandson of the Hon. Frederick West, younger son of the second Earl.
Cornwallis-West was the father of George Cornwallis-West and Daisy, Princess
of Pless.
