{{Use dmy dates|date=September 2021}} The '''Poë''', later '''Poë-Domvile Baronetcy''', of Heywood in the Parish of [[Ballinakill]] in [[County Laois|Queen's County]], was a title in the [[Baronetage of the United Kingdom]]. It was created on 2 July 1912 for [[Hutcheson Poë]], subsequently [[Lord Lieutenant of Queen's County]] (1920–22) and a [[Seanad Éireann (Irish Free State)|Senator of the Irish Free State]] (1922–24).<ref>[http://www.oireachtas.ie/members-hist/default.asp?MemberID=2135 Sir William Hutcheson Poë] Chronology of Members, Oireachtas</ref> He married Mary Adelaide, only surviving daughter of Sir William Compton Domvile, 3rd Baronet (see [[Domvile baronets (1815 creation)|Domvile Baronets]]). Through this marriage [[Heywood House Gardens|Heywood House]] came into the Poë family.
Hugo Compton Domvile Poë, only son of the first baronet, was declared of [[insanity|unsound mind]] on 10 May 1929.<ref name="act">[https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1936/en/act/prv/0001/print.html Poë Name and Arms (Compton Domvile Estates) Act, 1936]</ref> On his father's death, he inherited the baronetcy. On his mother's death, he became eligible to inherit lands in Dublin, on condition that he adopt the surname and [[coat of arms|arms]] of Domvile.<ref name="act"/> As there were doubts about whether this could be done for a person of unsound mind, a [[private act]] of the Oireachtas was passed on 3 April 1936 to change his name to Hugo Compton Domvile Poë Domvile and his arms to [[quartering (heraldry)|quartering]] of the Poë and Domvile arms.<ref name="act"/>
The baronetcy became extinct on Hugo's death in 1959.
