Feudal Baron & Lord of England
Baron of North Cadbury is a feudal title in the Baronage of England. The current holder of the title is Jörg Hubert Dumke de Newmarch. The Baron holds the legal rights to the only authentic feudal Barony of North Cadbury together with the Manor of [North] Cadbury, which is attended to the barony. The name of the barony refers to Cadbury (Cadeberie) in the county of Somerset and was the caput, means the seat, of the extensive fiefdom or barony. The Barony and Manor of [North] Cadbury is recorded as Cadeberie in the Domesday Book survey of 1086 and also in the Cartae Baronum, the 'Charters of the Barons'. The ancient barony has a history to 1216 in the reign of King Henry III.
The barony was created by King William I the Conqueror in about 1066 as a gift to one of his Norman barons, Turstin FitzRolf, who fought for him as his loyal standard-bearer at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. However, Turstin either died or fell out of favour with King William II (Rufus) and the barony was granted to Wynebald de Ballon, 2nd Baron. Through him, the barony passed into the de Newmarch family.
In 1216, James de Newmarch, the 5th Baron died, leaving two daughters as co-heirs and the barony was partitioned and has not been joined again.
After that, the Barony of North Cadbury was dormant for almost eight centuries before being rediscovered by a researcher in 2010 and claimed from an extinct family trust and has been re-established by legal process.
In 2011, Jörg Hubert, the present Baron, related to the de Newmarch family, and his wife Regina became the rightful successors and owners of the hereditary Barony and Lordship and 6th Baron and Baroness of North Cadbury. The right to the title has been created by legal process by a leading authority of the realm and transferred by Deed of Conveyance in compliance with the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 (Hatton Solicitors).
The Baron and Baroness's hereditary titles of the Barony and Lordships are not titles of the peerage (peerage privileges or parliamentary standing), but rather titles of the feudal nobility. These originated under feudalism and enshrined in English law as 'incorporeal hereditaments'.
