'''Baron Fermoy''' is a title in the [[Peerage of Ireland]]. The title was created by [[Queen Victoria]] by [[letters patent]] of 10 September 1856 for [[Edmond Roche, 1st Baron Fermoy|Edmond Roche]].
Previous letters patent had been issued on 14 May 1855 which purported to create this barony for Roche, but these were ruled invalid in 1856. Under the [[Acts of Union 1800]], three pre-1801 Irish peerages had to go extinct for each new Irish peerage created. The three extinct peerages cited in 1855 were Viscounts [[Viscount Melbourne|Melbourne]] and [[Viscount Tyrconnel|Tyrconnel]], and the [[Earl of Mountrath]]. However, although the earldom went extinct in 1802 with the death of the [[Charles Coote, 7th Earl of Mountrath|7th Earl of Mountrath]], the [[subsidiary title]] of [[Baron Castle Coote]] passed by [[special remainder]] and remained extant (until 1827). As a result, the [[Committee for Privileges]] of the [[House of Lords]] reasoned that while the number of peerages had reduced in 1802, the number of peers had not, thus the 1855 patent was incompatible with the terms of the Act of Union. The 1856 patent substituted [[Viscount O'Neill]] for Earl of Mountrath and was accepted.<ref>{{cite book |chapter=The Fermoy Peerage Claim |last1=Macdonell |first1=John |last2=Wallis |first2=John Edward Power |title=Reports of state trials |date=1888 |publisher=Eyre and Spottiswoode for HMSO |location=London |pages=723–786 |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/reportsstatetri01wallgoog/page/n389}}</ref>
[[Diana, Princess of Wales]], was a great-great-granddaughter of the first Baron Fermoy through her mother, [[Frances Shand Kydd]]. Shand Kydd was the younger daughter of the [[Maurice Roche, 4th Baron Fermoy|4th Baron Fermoy]], a friend of [[George VI of the United Kingdom|King George VI]] and the elder of the twin sons of the American heiress [[Frances Work]] and her first husband, the Hon. [[James Roche, 3rd Baron Fermoy|James Boothby Burke Roche]], who, after their divorce, became the third Baron Fermoy. Diana's maternal grandmother, [[Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy]], was a confidante and lady-in-waiting to [[Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|the Queen Mother]], and the founder of the annual [[King's Lynn]] Festival (of classical music) in [[Norfolk]], England.▼
