The latter's son, the third Baron, succeeded in 1962; a Conservative politician, he notably served as Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Lords in 1974. In 1999 he was created a life peer as Baron Hennessy, of Windlesham in the County of Surrey, so that he could continue to sit in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, which removed the automatic right of hereditary peers to a seat in the upper chamber of parliament. the titles are held by his son, the fourth Baron. ==Barons Windlesham (1937)== *George Richard James Hennessy, 1st Baron Windlesham (1877–1953) *James Bryan George Hennessy, 2nd Baron Windlesham (1903–1962) *David James George Hennessy, 3rd Baron Windlesham (1932–2010) *James Rupert Hennessy, 4th Baron Windlesham (b. 1968) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baron Windlesham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
