1654), summoned to Parliament 1641 and 1642 as 7th Lord Darcy [de
Knayth] and 4th Lord Conyers; in 1644 he became sole heir of his
maternal grandfather and thus was entitled to the Conyers Barony by right
anyway; although the 1641 declaration by Parliament awarded him these Baronies
with remainder to heirs male, a later decision by Parliament ruled that the
1641 and 1642 actions operated merely to terminate the abeyances in the
Baronies of Conyers and Darcy de Knayth, which remained Baronies by Writ; he
was also a co-heir to the Barony of Fauconberge and probably to the Barony of
