But it soon became limited to the King's direct vassals or tenants in chief. Magna Carta laid down that only the greater barons should receive personal summonses to the King's counsel, lesser being summoned through the sheriff.

So these greater barons came to monopolize the title and became the nucleus of the House of Lords. modern custom every person personally summoned to the Parliament of 1295, or any later Parliament, and having taken his seat, is deemed to have been created a baron "by writ," and his title descends to his heirs, though nothing is more certain, says the London Mail, than that Edward I and his two successors never dreamed that they were thus creating rank. The first hereditary baron expressly created by patent (the modern method) was Lord Beauchamp of Kidderminster, in 1387. Barons now form the lower rank of the peerage. Going up the ranks are baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke.
