Some Mistake Surely?

His son Sir John Byron was born 1599 and became the first Baron Byron, succeeded in 1652 by his brother Richard Byron - born in 1606. Assuming this man was his father this was 6 years posthumously. Streona (talk)Streona

I have corrected the death date - it was in fact 1625. http://thepeerage.com/p19720.htm#i197200 --Streona (talk) 02:44, 26 February 2011 (UTC) Hang about - that makes him 99 years old! --Streona (talk) 02:47, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two different people. I have renamed the "Senior" and "Junior" articles as there are three generations: John Byron (died 1576), John Byron (died 1600), and John Byron (died 1625). jnestorius(talk) 23:42, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gratuitous genealogy, anachronistic puffery, original research

The material that keeps getting added here violates WP:NOTGENEALOGY, WP:UNDUE, WP:NOR, and much of it lacks any source whatsoever, let alone a reliable one. Likewise it is completely anachronistic to pretend that people who lived in medieval or early-modern times used the puffed up styles that came to be popularized in the Victorian era and beyond.
