**Baron Boteler** (sometimes modernly **Baron Butler** or **Baron Botiler**) was a title that was created three times in the [Peerage of England](/source/Peerage_of_England).

The first barony, **Baron Boteler**, of Warrington, was created by writ on 23 June 1295 for [William le Boteler](/source/William_Boteler,_1st_Baron_Boteler_(first_creation)). It became extinct on his death circa 1328.[1]

The second barony, **Baron Boteler**, of Wem, was created by writ on 19 March 1308 in the [Peerage of England](/source/List_of_baronies_in_the_Peerage_of_England) for [William Boteler](/source/William_Boteler,_1st_Baron_Boteler_(second_creation)), grandson of [Gruffydd Maelor II](/source/Gruffydd_II_ap_Madog,_Lord_of_Dinas_Bran). It fell into [abeyance](/source/Abeyance) in 1411, on the death of his great-granddaughter.[2]

The third barony, **Baron Boteler**, of Brantfield in the County of Hertford, was created by [letters patent](/source/Letters_patent) on 30 July 1628 for [Sir John Boteler, 1st Baronet](/source/John_Boteler,_1st_Baron_Boteler_of_Brantfield), [Member of Parliament](/source/Member_of_Parliament) for [Hertfordshire](/source/Hertfordshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)) from 1625 to 1626. He had already been created a [baronet](/source/Baronet), of Hatfield Woodhall in the County of Hertford, in the [Baronetage of England](/source/Baronetage_of_England) on 12 April 1620.[3] The titles became extinct on the death of his son, the second Baron, in 1657. George Boteler, half-brother of the first Baron, was created a baronet in 1643 (see [Boteler baronets](/source/Boteler_baronets)).[4]
