The Lucas Baronetcy, of Fenton in the County of Lincoln, was created in the Baronetage of England on 20 May 1644 for Gervase Lucas. He fought as a Royalist in the Civil War and served as Governor of Bombay from 1666 to 1667. The title became extinct on his death in 1667.

The Lucas Baronetcy, of Ashtead Park in the County of Surrey and of Lowestoft in the County of Suffolk, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 25 July 1887 for Thomas Lucas. For his services in the building trade with the company the Lucas Brothers.[1] As of 2007 the presumed fifth and present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.

gollark: Amazing. I have somehow managed to make it work apart from the terminal being set to greyscale for some reason.
gollark: Good idea, will do.
gollark: How is *that* meant to work?
gollark: That is... also what it used to do, and is why boot times were so awful.
gollark: PotatOS *did* do that, but then I decided I needed to reduce boot times.
