Baron Lisle was a title which was created five times in the Peerage of England during the Middle Ages and Tudor period. The earliest creation was in 1299 for John de L'Isle of Wootton on the Isle of Wight, then in the County of Southampton, now in Hampshire. The family's name in French was de l'Isle and was Latinised to de Insula. They were also known by the Latinised cognomen de Bosco referring to their "well-wooded" seat at Woodeton/Wodingtone. The family is assumed to have arrived in the Isle of Wight as a feudal follower of the Norman magnate Richard de Redvers (d.1107), Lord of the Isle of Wight and feudal baron of Plympton in Devon, and father of Baldwin de Redvers, 1st Earl of Devon. Below the de Redvers family that of de Lisle was the most important on the Island. John de Lisle, 2nd Baron Lisle (c.1281-1331) married Roesia de Cormeilles, daughter and heiress of Sir John de Cormeilles of Thruxton in Hampshire, which thenceforth became the de Lisle's principal seat. Bartholomew de Lisle, 3rd Baron Lisle (1308-1345) married Elizabeth de Courtenay, a daughter of Hugh de Courtenay, 1st/9th Earl of Devon (1276–1340), successor to de Redvers, although no longer Lord of the Isle of Wight, which was sold in 1293 to King Edward I by Isabel de Forz, daughter and heiress of the last de Redvers Earl. The arms of Lisle of Wootton were: Or, on a chief azure three lions rampant of the first, as is visible on the monumental brass in Thruxton Church of John de Lisle, 5th Baron Lisle (1366-1408), which also shows the arms of de Lisle impaling Courtenay, possibly for an unknown second wife of the 5th Baron, or possibly as a commemoration of the marriage of the 3rd Baron. The 5th Baron served twice as a Member of Parliament for Hampshire in 1401 and 1404. The last in the male line was John Lisle, 9th Baron Lisle, whose chest tomb and recumbent effigy survives in Thruxton Church in Hampshire.
