The title Baron Chandos has been created twice in the Peerage of England. It was first created in 1337 when Roger de Chandos was summoned to parliament. It became extinct on his death.
It was next created in 1554 for John Brydges, formerly MP for Gloucestershire. The ninth baron was created Earl of Carnarvon (second creation) in 1714 and Duke of Chandos in 1719. Subsidiary titles included Marquess of Carnarvon (1719) and Viscount Wilton (1714). All of these titles were in the Peerage of Great Britain, and all became dormant (along with the barony) on the death of the third duke in 1789.
