Baron Brabourne
Baron Brabourne, of Brabourne im County of Kent ist ein erblicher britischer Adelstitel in der Peerage of the United Kingdom.
Ihr Name wird bray-burn ausgesprochen.
Baron Brabourne
Der Titel wurde am 26. Mai 1880 für den liberalen Politiker Edward Knatchbull-Hugessen geschaffen, den zweiten Sohn von Sir Edward Knatchbull, 9. Baronet (of Mersham Hatch). Dieser war Abgeordneter im House of Commons und Staatssekretär im Innen- und Kolonialministerium gewesen.
Beim Aussterben der Nachkommenlinie des älteren Bruders des 1. Barons 1917, erbte der 4. Baron auch den 1641 in der Baronetage of England geschaffenen Titel 13. Knatchbull Baronet, of Mersham Hatch, und ließ daraufhin 1919 seinen Familiennamen zu Knatchbull verkürzen.
Der 7. Baron heiratete 1946 Patricia Mountbatten, die älteste Tochter des berühmten Marineoffiziers und letzten britischen Vizekönigs von Indien Louis Mountbatten, 1. Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Da dessen Titel kraft ausdrücklicher Regelung an seine Töchter übergehen konnten, erbte Patricia Knatchbull beim Tode ihres Vaters im Jahre 1979 dessen Titel.
Beim Tod des 7. Barons am 22. September 2005 erbte dessen ältester Sohn die Baronswürde als 8. Baron. Beim Tod seiner Mutter am 13. Juni 2017 erbte dieser auch deren Titel als 3. Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Die Baronie ist seither ein nachgeordneter Titel des Earls – der älteste Sohn des Earls führt seither als Titelerbe den Höflichkeitstitel Lord Brabourne.
Baronetcy, of Mersham Hatch
Die Baronetcy, of Mersham Hatch in the Country of Kent, wurde 1641 in der Baronetage of England für Sir Norton Knatchbull geschaffen, Abgeordneter für Kent und New Romney im englischen House of Commons war. Auch sein Sohn, der 2. Baronet, vertrat diese Wahlkreise im Parlament. Sein Neffe, der 4. Baronet (der seinem Vater, einem jüngeren Bruder des 2. Baronet, nachgefolgt war), saß als Parlamentsmitglied für Rochester, Kent und Lostwithiel. Sein Nachfolger wurde sein Sohn, der 5. Baronet, der 1733 als High Sheriff of Kent diente. 1746 übernahm er durch Private Act des irischen Parlaments den zusätzlichen Familiennamen Wyndham, als Generalerbe des Thomas Wyndham, 1. Baron Wyndham, seinem Großvater mütterlicherseits. Sein Sohn, der 6. Baronet, vertrat Kent im Parlament. Bei seinem Tod ging der Titel an seinen Onkel, den 7. Baronet, über. Er saß als Abgeordneter für Armagh im irischen House of Commons. Sein Sohn, der 8. Baronet, war 1785 High Sheriff of Kent und vertrat später Kent im House of Commons.

The Battenberg title was first conferred in 1857 on Countess Julia von Hauke, morganatic wife of Prince Alexander of Hesse (d.1888). She was a former lady-in-waiting to his sister. Three of their four children attained high honor as Princes of Battenberg. One, Louis Alexander (b. in 1854) is a British naval officer; another, Alexander Joseph, was from 1879 to 1886 Prince of Bulgaria; while the third, Prince Henry Maurice, in 1885 married Princess Beatrice, youngest child of the late Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

Princess Alice of the United Kingdom (1843-1878), Grand Duchess of Hesse, was the second daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She married the German Prince Louis of Hesse, heir to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. She was the maternal grandmother of Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma and maternal great-grandmother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (consort of Queen Elizabeth II).
Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma was the second son of Prince Louis of Battenberg and his wife Princess Victoria of Hesse. His maternal grandparents were Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse, and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, a daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His paternal grandparents were Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine and Julia, Princess of Battenberg.
Mountbatten's paternal grandparents' marriage was morganatic because his grandmother was not of royal lineage; as a result, he and his father were styled "Serene Highness" rather than "Grand Ducal Highness", were not eligible to be titled Princes of Hesse and were given the less exalted Battenberg title.
