Scott, Lyon will no longer recognise feudal Barons as he can no longer check the validity via sasines. It may be worth looking at this from The Burkes Peerage & Gentry International Register of Arms Newsletter which outlines the Lord Lyons Ruling.

John, That is the point Lyon reversed himself on. Several barons were recognized in Letters Patent after Blair's published "deadline".

The argument re: checking validity really doesn't hold much water as virtually every barony ever created is to be found in the pages of the sasines. Chain of title would be more difficult to prove, but not necessarily impossible.

I believe that "Burkes" is owned by Preston of Preston Grange, and that there was some discussion about forming a "Burkes Barons Club" to act as some sort of "register", but I really don't have all the details.

I am sure the whole matter will be revisited by Lord Lyon Blair's replacement.

Actually, for some, it's about another form of identity theft.
