Baron Brabazon of Tara

Baron Brabazon of Tara, of Sandwich in the County of Kent, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1942 for John Cuthbert Moore-Brabazon, an aviation pioneer and Conservative politician. Moore-Brabazon was a descendant through a female line of Edward Brabazon, 7th Earl of Meath. His father Major John Arthur Henry Moore had assumed the additional surname of Brabazon in 1866 by Royal license. As of 2007 the title is held by the first Baron's grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1974. He is also a Conservative politician and one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999.
