Baron Maguire Explained

Baron Maguire, of Enniskillen, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 3 March 1628 for Bryan Maguire by Charles I. On 10 February 1645, the second baron was attainted and the barony forfeited.

In 1689, the second baron's nephew, Roger Maguire, was summoned to the Irish Patriot Parliament as Baron Maguire of Enniskillen by James II of England.^[1] However, this use of the title was never recognised outside Jacobite circles.
