Baron of Dunsany

The title Baron of Dunsany or, more commonly, Lord Dunsany, is one of the oldest (1439 or 1461/2) dignities in the Peerage of Ireland, one of just a handful of 13th- to 15th-century titles still extant, having had 21 holders, of the Plunkett name, to date. Other surviving medieval baronies include Kerry (1223, now a subsidiary title of the Marquess of Lansdowne), Kingsale (1344, feudal barony 1223), Baron Louth (second creation, 1541), and Dunboyne (1541, feudal barony 1324). The current holder of the title is Randal Plunkett, born 1983.
