Baron of Renfrew (title)
Baron of Renfrew is a dignity held by the heir apparent to the British throne, currently Prince Charles.〔"(The Royal Family - HRH The Prince of Wales )", ''Burke's Peerage''.〕 It was held by the Scottish heir apparent beginning in 1404. It is closely associated with the title Duke of Rothesay. An act of the Scottish Parliament passed in 1469 confirmed the pattern of succession.〔''Chamber's Encyclopedia'' (1880). "By act of the Scottish parliament of 1469, the titles of prince and high steward of Scotland, duke of Rothesay, earl of Carrick, baron of Renfrew, and lord of the isles were vested in the eldest son and heir apparent of the crown of Scotland."〕 Renfrew, a town near Glasgow, is sometimes called the "cradle of the royal Stewarts."
In Scotland, barons hold feudal titles, not peerages: a Scottish lord of Parliament equates to an English or British baron. Some, however, claim that the Act of 1469 effectively elevated the Barony of Renfrew to the dignity of a peerage.〔"(British titles -- Baron )", ''Burke's Peerage''. "it has sometimes been argued that the Barony of Renfrew which is one of the PRINCE OF WALES's Scottish titles such by virtue of a law of 1469 settling it on the eldest son of the King of Scots or by virtue of the union of English and Scottish crowns in 1603."〕 Others suggest that the barony became a peerage upon the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Finally, some scholars argue that the uncertainty surrounding the text of the 1469 Act leaves the barony as only a feudal dignity, not a peerage dignity.〔The official position is given in Hansard (House of Lords - written answers) for 18 May 1999 : Column 228: Lord Williams of Mostyn (Home Office Minister): "The Barony of Renfrew is not a peerage dignity at all; it is a feudal or minor barony of Scotland."〕 The title of Lord Renfrew was used by the traveling Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII〔Virginius Dabney ''Richmond: The Story of a City'' 1990 Page 142 - "He was the nineteen-year-old Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, traveling under the name of "Baron Renfrew." The youthful prince arrived on October 7th 1860,"〕 and Prince Edward, Duke of Rothesay, later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, when he traveled in a private capacity or when he wished to pay visits 'incognito'.〔"(Prince of Wales home again )", ''Reading Eagle'', Oct 21, 1923.〕
