  1. According to The Complete Peerage:
    In 1616 the barony of De Ros was allowed precedence from this writ [of 24 December 1264], a decision adopted by the Lords in 1806 (Round, Peerage and Pedigree, vol. i, pp. 249-50); but these writs, issued by Simon in the King's name, are no longer regarded as valid for the creation of peerages - see Cokayne 1949, p. 95.
    The corresponding article in the first edition of the Complete Peerage, which is available online, is at Volume 6, page 400.
  2. In 1604, the first creation of the barony was called out of abeyance for Mary Fane, the first barony by writ of summons to so be revived. When calling it out of abeyance, the House of Lords gave it precedence as if it had been created in 1264. See The Complete Peerage, 2nd edition, Volume 1, Preface, P xvi
