Baron Dudley Baron Dudley is a title in the Peerage of England. It was created in circa 1440 for John Sutton, a soldier who served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. According to "Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage" he was actually summoned to Parliament as "Johanni de Sutton de Duddeley militi", whereby he is held to have become Baron Dudley. The title is sometime referred to as "Baron Sutton of Dudley". The peerage was created by writ, which means that it can descend through both male and female lines.
