The third Baron, the last of the senior Audley line, died without issue in 1391, when the [baron](/source/baron)y fell into [abeyance](/source/abeyance); it was revived in 1408 for the descendants of his sister Joanne Audley, and her husband, [Sir John Tuchet, KG](/source/John_Tuchet%2C_4th_Baron_Audley) (b. 1327); the '''11th Baron Audley''' was created [Earl of Castlehaven](/source/Earl_of_Castlehaven) and his son, [the 2nd Earl](/source/Mervyn_Tuchet%2C_2nd_Earl_of_Castlehaven), was [attainted](/source/attainted) of felony and executed, forfeiting the ancient [English barony](/source/baron) but not the [Irish earldom](/source/Irish_earldom). (The Castlehavens also held two other different baronies Audley of Orier (1616) and Audley of Hely (1633).) The [titles](/source/hereditary_title) were revived by Act of Parliament in 1678 for his son, [James Tuchet, 3rd Earl of Castlehaven](/source/James_Tuchet%2C_3rd_Earl_of_Castlehaven), devolving in the same line until the death of [John Tuchet, 8th Earl of Castlehaven](/source/John_Tuchet%2C_8th_Earl_of_Castlehaven) in 1777, when the earldom became extinct, and the Audley title passed to [George Thicknesse-Tuchet](/source/George_Thicknesse%2C_19th_Baron_Audley) as the '''19th Baron Audley'''. The title has been abeyant since the death of Richard Souter, 25th Baron Audley in 1997, leaving three daughters.{{cite book|title=Debrett's Peerage & Baronetage|date=2008|publisher=Debrett's|page=79}} The title of '''Baron Audley''' was created a second time on 20 November 1317, again by [writ of summons](/source/Hereditary_peer), in favour of Sir Hugh Audley of [Stratton Audley](/source/Stratton_Audley), grandson of James Audley of Audley (1220–1272). He married [Lady Margaret de Clare](/source/Margaret_de_Clare), daughter of the [Gilbert, Earl of Hertford and Gloucester](/source/Gilbert_de_Clare%2C_7th_Earl_of_Gloucester) (of 1218 creation, extinct 1314)). Audley was created [Earl of Gloucester](/source/Earl_of_Gloucester) in 1337, but upon his death in 1347, the earldom became extinct and the barony fell dormant. His only daughter and heir married [Ralph Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford](/source/Ralph_Stafford%2C_1st_Earl_of_Stafford), thus ''de jure'' the barony devolved with the [earldom of Stafford](/source/Earl_of_Stafford) until 1521 when [Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham](/source/Edward_Stafford%2C_3rd_Duke_of_Buckingham) was [attainted](/source/attainder) of his [noble title](/source/noble_title)s. ==Barons Audley (1313)== *[Nicholas Audley, 1st Baron Audley](/source/Nicholas_Audley%2C_1st_Baron_Audley) (c. 1289–1316) *[James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley](/source/James_Audley%2C_2nd_Baron_Audley) (1312–1386) *[Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley](/source/Nicholas_Audley%2C_3rd_Baron_Audley) (c. 1328–1391) (abeyant 1391) *[John Tuchet, 4th Baron Audley](/source/John_Tuchet%2C_4th_Baron_Audley) (1371–1408) (abeyance terminated 1408) *[James Tuchet, 5th Baron Audley](/source/James_Tuchet%2C_5th_Baron_Audley) (c. 1398–1459) *[John Tuchet, 6th Baron Audley](/source/John_Tuchet%2C_6th_Baron_Audley) (d. 1490) *[James Tuchet, 7th Baron Audley](/source/James_Tuchet%2C_7th_Baron_Audley) (c. 1463–1497) (forfeit 1497) *[John Tuchet, 8th Baron Audley](/source/John_Tuchet%2C_8th_Baron_Audley) (c. 1483–1558) (restored 1512) *[George Tuchet, 9th Baron Audley](/source/George_Tuchet%2C_9th_Baron_Audley) (d. 1560) *[Henry Tuchet, 10th Baron Audley](/source/Henry_Tuchet%2C_10th_Baron_Audley) (d. 1563) *[George Tuchet, 11th Baron Audley](/source/George_Tuchet%2C_1st_Earl_of_Castlehaven) (1551–1617); later created 1st Earl of Castlehaven ==Earls of Castlehaven (I. 1616)== *[George Tuchet, 1st Earl of Castlehaven](/source/George_Tuchet%2C_1st_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 11th Baron Audley (1551–1617) *[Mervyn Tuchet, 2nd Earl of Castlehaven](/source/Mervyn_Tuchet%2C_2nd_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 12th Baron Audley (1593–1631) (forfeit 1631) *[James Tuchet, 3rd Earl of Castlehaven](/source/James_Tuchet%2C_3rd_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 13th Baron Audley (c. 1617–1684) (restored 1678) *[Mervyn Tuchet, 4th Earl of Castlehaven](/source/Mervyn_Tuchet%2C_4th_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 14th Baron Audley (d. 1686) *[James Tuchet, 5th Earl of Castlehaven](/source/James_Tuchet%2C_5th_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 15th Baron Audley (d. 1700) *[James Tuchet, 6th Earl of Castlehaven](/source/James_Tuchet%2C_6th_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 16th Baron Audley (d. 1740) *[James Tuchet, 7th Earl of Castlehaven](/source/James_Tuchet%2C_7th_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 17th Baron Audley (1723–1769) *[John Tuchet, 8th Earl of Castlehaven](/source/John_Tuchet%2C_8th_Earl_of_Castlehaven), 18th Baron Audley (1724–1777) ==Barons Audley (1313; Reverted)== *[George Thicknesse-Touchet, 19th Baron Audley](/source/George_Thicknesse%2C_19th_Baron_Audley) (1758–1818) *[George John Thicknesse-Touchet, 20th Baron Audley](/source/George_Thicknesse-Touchet%2C_20th_Baron_Audley) (1783–1837) *[George Edward Thicknesse-Touchet, 21st Baron Audley](/source/George_Edward_Thicknesse-Touchet%2C_21st_Baron_Audley) (1817–1872) (abeyant 1872) *[Mary Thicknesse-Touchet, 22nd Baroness Audley](/source/Mary_Thicknesse-Touchet%2C_22nd_Baroness_Audley) (1858–1942) (abeyance terminated 1937) *[Thomas Percy Henry Touchet-Jesson, 23rd Baron Audley](/source/Thomas_Percy_Henry_Touchet-Jesson%2C_23rd_Baron_Audley) (1913–1963) *Rosina Lois Veronica MacNamee, 24th Baroness Audley (1911–1973) *Richard Michael Thomas Souter, 25th Baron Audley (1914–1997) (abeyant 1997) Co-heiresses: [The Hon.](/source/The_Hon.)
