*************************************
The Illegal Sale of Feudal Baronies
For Those Who Believe They Are Above the Law:
Lord Bradford wrote on his website the following truth, "I will put it very simply, 'You cannot purchase a genuine British title, with one exception, the feudal title of a Scottish baron; and certainly cannot buy a peerage title'." (see www.faketitles.com) Yet Antonio A. Boada, Mark T. Williams and R. A. Pitts-Tucker have sold them for years and have done so fraudulently and illegally. They can be brought to court for this.
Since the "Tenures Abolition Act 1660" was passed and approved by Parliament in the 1600's, Baronies by Tenure or, in other words, Feudal Baronies not only ceased to exist, but were legally abolished And case law haw upheld this legal act of elimination in every instance. In 1662, the Irish Parliament also abolished Feudal Baronies there in their country as well.
Much of that which follows is either quoted or paraphrased from a well-known English expert and scholar in legal, historical and genealogical research of international reputation. This prominent man gave me permission to quote him, but not reveal his name without express permission.
This treatise is about the unlawful feudal titles sales perpetrated by a number of fraudsters--Mr. Antonio A. Boada and Mr. R. A. Pitts-Tucker being among the most prominent and/or infamous. First of all, a Feudal Barony is the same thing as a Barony by Tenure. The only Feudal Baronies that continued to exist after the abolition of feudal titles in 1660 and 1662 were the Baronies by Tenure that became Baronies by virtue of a Writ of Summons. A Writ in this case refers to a summons to sit in Parliament. Such a Title by Writ of Summons automatically became hereditary and therefore could not be bought or sold. All other Feudal titles ceased to exist and not even the Crown could rightfully restore them once feudal tenure was abolished by law.
There have been two attempts to revive English feudal baronies, both of which were conclusively rejected by the courts: the Fitzwalter case of 1668 and the Berkeley case of 1858.
Furthermore, since a ruling in 1927, Baronies by Writ of Summons cannot be "brought out of abeyance" if they have been in abeyance for more than 100 years. (This followed a spate of claimants on dubious genealogical evidence that they were heirs to men who had received a writ of summons many centuries earlier, one claimant being after a lapse of 600 years!)
An Act of the Irish Parliament in 1662 abolished Feudal Baronies in Ireland as well. It paralleled the English Act of 1660 in content and purpose. In fact, it is virtually identical. There have been no specific rulings in Ireland on the effect of the 1662 Act but the wording is so similar that there is little doubt that the effect is the same as the English Act.
Some have thought that the Deputy Chief Herald of Ireland could approve or certify Feudal Baronies or allow them to be legitimate sold. But this man cannot violate the law. A simple telephone call to the Chief Herald will confirm this. Anyway if he did approve, it would have no legal basis, as he has no judicial authority. The major difference between him and the Lord Lyon of Scotland is that the Lord Lyon in Edinburgh is legally qualified and a judge–a presiding judge of the Court of the Lord Lyon by authority of Letters Patent from the Queen. The Lord Lyon’s decisions are judgments of a court.
By contrast the head of the National Library of the Republic of Ireland, which is roughly equivalent to the Library of Congress, is ex-officio Chief Herald of Ireland and the Deputy Chief Herald (who is the effective functionary). They are simply a employeed of the library with no legal training! (Some past Chief Heralds or their deputies have given such approvals, many being considered quite ill-judged, accepting forged evidence, etc., and in the wake of much controversy, they have simply ceased the practice as it has been a complete can of worms. They have also been ordered by the government not to approve anything or be involved in such anymore.)
Scotland abolished their Feudal Baronies by a law enacted in the year 2000 with one major difference–specific clauses in the Act, completely absent in the English and Irish Acts, allows the abolished Scottish Feudal Baronies to be sold as “incorporeal hereditaments,” that is, they can legally be purchased as titles of honor. The 1660 English Act also contained a saving clause that nothing in the act should "infringe or hurt titles of honour;" the claimant in the Berkeley Case 1858 (decision 1861) argued that feudal baronies were titles of honour, but this was rejected by the House of Lords, who ruled that whatever might have been the position in the past, baronies by tenure no longer existed. Titles of honor refer to honorific titles, like Duke, Earl, Baron, Viscount, Baronet, not to feudal titles. All of the legitimate titles of nobility that now exist in England or Ireland are honorific titles or titles of honor–no feudal titles exist anymore. The so-called loop hole made sure that the Abolition Acts did not “infringe or hurt titles of honour” created by the Crown. These titles were safe. But the laws abolished all feudal titles or titles by tenure. Scottish feudal titles can be bought and sold legally, the English and Irish ones cannot.
The point is you can’t legally buy or sell what has been abolished by an act of Parliament and what has been upheld by the courts. English and Irish Baronies and Viscountcies, are not even non-entities. You cannot legally do anything you want with them. There is absolutely nothing neutral about them. They are outlawed and prohibited. It is illegal to buy or sell them. Their legal status is that of complete abolition. They cannot legally be considered “incorporeal hereditaments.” They have been totally eliminated by law. Therefore, all who sell them are selling ciphers, lies, myths, pretense, illusions or make believe. It is not legit. They are fakes and the whole business of selling such is illegal, basically an act of fraud, which would be upheld in court by the very laws that eliminated their existence in the first place.
The fact that Boada and Pitts-Tucker, a so-called legal expert in feudal titles, sold them for years is just another weighty piece of evidence that they are charlatans who have swindled hundreds of people and wilfully and premeditatedly broke the law that Pitts-Tucker, as a solicitor and officer of the Court, has solemnly sworn to uphold. (see: www.pitts-tucker.co.uk/property.html) It should be remembered that, "A solicitor may be found criminally liable if [he or] she lends assistance to a client in execution of a prohibited transaction [selling nonexistent, or worse, abolished or outlawed merchandise] or in performance of prohibited activity [selling that which is illegal to sell]."
Will these despicable men ever right their wrongs–no, not unless they are forced to. Con artists are not the good guys in this world. They are not in the business of doing anything right or honorable, and they don’t give a damn about their victims or their damage they do to their fellowman. They believe they are above the law.
If you bought a so-called English or Feudal Barony from one of these con artists, you can and should bring them to court or at the very least make official criminal complaints against them to law enforcement.
Again, “All that is needed for the force of evil to win is for good men to do nothing.”
Only if everyone makes complaints will something happen. It’s like the saying, “United we stand divided we fall.” Only when the authorities see that hundreds have been robbed and cheated, will they put a priority on this case. Go to “The Answer” for more information.
