Baron Badlesmere was a title in the Peerage of England.

On 26 October 1309 Bartholomew Badlesmere, Governor of Bristol Castle, was summoned to Parliament, regarded as a barony by writ. In 1322, he was attainted and executed for joining the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster, and the barony was forfeited. In 1328, the attainder was reversed for his only son, Giles Badlesmere, who became the second and last baron. On his death in 1338 without a son, the barony lapsed.

Theoretically, the title remains "abeyant" between the descendants of his four sisters. [1]

Baron Wharton is a title in the Peerage of England, originally granted by letters patent to the heirs male of the 1st Baron, which was forfeited in 1729 when the last male-line heir was declared an outlaw. The Barony was erroneously revived in 1916 by writ of summons, thanks to an 1844 decision in the House of Lords based on absence of documentation. As such, the current Barony of Wharton could more accurately be listed as a new Barony, created in 1916, with the precedence of the older Barony.
