Welcome to the Wagner family homepage

The Wagner family is a family steeped in tradition, with Scandinavian roots and European influences. Its history is deeply rooted in Northern Europe and has been documented since the 17th century through continuous entries in various European registers of nobility.
Alongside the Scandinavian branches, a distinct British branch developed in the 18th and 19th centuries, contributing to the family’s international network and standing. These connections reflect the historical exchange between Scandinavia and the United Kingdom and have shaped the family’s social, cultural and economic standing across generations.
Today, the Wagner family stands for the conscious preservation of its historical heritage, for cultural and social engagement, and for an attitude that is both tradition-conscious and forward-looking within the European context.

 

In light of recent events and as a warning against a certain ‘Lord’ Evan Stevens, the self-proclaimed 25th Baron of Patrixbourne

On 1 April 2026, we were contacted by email by a gentleman calling himself ‘Lord’ Evan Stevens, who not only claimed to be a direct descendant of Edward III, but also to have an alleged birthright to the title of 25th Baron of Patrixborne. These claims are false, embarrassing and completely fabricated. We have learnt from the honourable Lord Breadford, the 7th Earl of Bradford, that this individual has absolutely no right to call himself ‘Lord’.
We are therefore issuing an explicit warning regarding this gentleman.
He refers to an alleged 500-page document, of which no one has any knowledge, and which is supposedly intended to legitimise him and his obscure claims.
To date, the only evidence he has produced for his utterly ridiculous claim is a laughable ‘certificate of registration’ from the Manorial Society of England & Wales (MSoWE). This private society registers anything and anyone without verifying the accuracy or legitimacy of the information provided.
The fact is that Mr Evan Stevens is not a Lord, not a Baron of Patrixbourne, and is not registered in any directory of the nobility. Following extensive and intensive research, it can be assumed that Evan Stevens is not a real person either.
He has a birthright to NOTHING.

The title of Baron of Patrixbourne is lawfully and legally held by the Wagner family. There are no other holders of this title.

The unique heritage

Explanation of feudal titles
The title of a feudal baron does not belong to the British peerage. One might describe these titles as belonging to the landed gentry.
It is a historical title with legal and feudal rights. It serves to preserve culture and values. The British landed gentry is a social class that ranks above the so-called bourgeoisie but below the British peerage and has no claim to a seat in the House of Lords.
The feudal nobility has its origins in the Middle Ages and derived its status from a fief or landholding.

The current Baron of Patrixbourne and Lord of Cotton Manor now bears only the titles of the aforementioned dominion. He no longer holds any property rights to the former estates and makes no claim to land.
The purpose of this website is to preserve the title, history and tradition.
