Baron Poynings

The title of Baron Poynings was created twice in the Peerage of England.

Arms of Poynings: Barry of six or and vert a bend gules. Subsequently quartered by Percy

The first creation was for Sir Michael Poynings,[1] who was summoned to Parliament from 20 November 1348 to 24 February 1368 by writs directed Michaeli de Ponynges, 'whereby he is held to have become Lord Poynings'.[2] On the death of the fourth baron in 1446, his granddaughter, Eleanor Poynings, who had married Sir Henry Percy, later 3rd Earl of Northumberland, became de jure suo jure Baroness Poynings.[3] Percy was summoned to Parliament on her behalf from 14 December 1446 to 26 May 1455 by writs directed Henrico de Percy, chivaler, domino de Poynings. The 3rd Earl was slain at the Battle of Towton on 29 March 1461. His widow, Eleanor, Baroness Poynings, died in February 1484. Their son, Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland, succeeded to the barony, and since that time the barony of Poynings 'has followed the devolutions of the barony of Percy'.[3] It was attainted in 1571.[4]

The second creation of the barony was for Thomas Poynings, who was created Baron Poynings on 30 January 1545. At his death on 17 or 18 August of the same year, the second creation of the barony became extinct.[5]

gollark: Yes, that was one possibility but would also be quite limiting.
gollark: I have devised a possible solution:- do the virtual channel thing- when a Discord channel is added to a virtual channel, it checks which ones are already connected- these are added to a lookup table of some sort for inter-VC bridging - all the channels which are currently causing inter-VC bridging are stored- when a message is somethinged on a virtual channel, it is bridged based on the lookup table- when a virtual channel is unlinked from a real channel it removes it from the lookup table- when the lookup table entry for the inter-virtual-channel link contains 0 items, bridging stops
gollark: I have stuff in place for this anyway. I just want a nicer solution.
gollark: Your solution is bad.
gollark: Yes, yours specifically, [MEMETIC GLYPH CREATING IMPRESSION OF YOUR NAME].
