Baron Clwyd
Title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Clwyd, of Abergele in the County of Denbigh, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created in 1919 for the Liberal politician Sir John Roberts, 1st Baronet,[2] who had previously represented Denbighshire West in the House of Commons. He had already been created a Baronet, of Brynwenallt in the parish of Abergele in the County of Denbigh, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1908.[3] Lord Clwyd's father John Roberts had earlier been Member of Parliament for Flint from 1878 to 1892. As of 2016[update] the titles are held by his great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2006.[4]
The title of the barony, Clwyd, is pronounced "Cloo-id".
