Baron FitzWarin (also written FitzWaryn, FitzWarine, and other spellings) was a title in the Peerage of England created by writ of summons for Fulk V FitzWarin in 1295. His family had been magnates for nearly a century, at least since 1205 when his grandfather Fulk III FitzWarin obtained Whittington Castle near Oswestry, which was their main residence and the seat of a marcher lordship.
Arms of FitzWarin: Quarterly per fess indented argent and gules, as given for Fulk V FitzWarin in the St George's Roll, 1285[1]Differenced arms of Wiliam FitzWarin, per the Gelre Armorial, c. 1370 – 1414: Quarterly per fess indented ermine and gules
All the male heirs were given the first name Fulk, and the barony with the castle and lordship of Whittington descended from father to son until 1420. It then passed to an heiress, Elizabeth FitzWarin, and from her to the Bourchier family, with John Bourchier being created Earl of Bath in 1536. The line ended with the death of Edward Bourchier, 4th Earl of Bath in 1636. In 1913 the title was unsuccessfully claimed by Sir Robert Wrey, a distant relative who had acquired parts of what had been the FitzWarin estate.
Fulk II FitzWarin (died after 1194), married Hawise, daughter and co-heiress of Joceas de Dinan.[2] His younger son was William FitzWarin who obtained the Devon manor of Brightley and adopted the last name of Brightley.[3]
Fulk III FitzWarin (died after 1250), held Whittington Castle in 1204 and was the subject of a legend[2]Romance of Fouke le Fitz Waryn
Thomasine Hankford, daughter, (1423–1453), married Sir William Bourchier (1407–1470). He was summoned to Parliament in her right as 9th Baron FitzWarin.[5]
Edward Bourchier, 4th Earl of Bath (1590 – 1636), 14th Baron FitzWarin. On his death, the barony of FitzWarin fell into abeyance between his daughters Anne, Elizabeth, and Dorothy.
