Baron of Patrixbourne is a feudal title in the Baronage of England.

Baroness & Baron of Patrixbourne

Today, in modern England, the title of the barony continues to exist and is held as a legally recognised possession, independent of its historic rights, as a so-called incorporeal possession.

As today's Baron & Baroness, we endeavour to fulfil our responsibility to preserve this piece of English history for future generations. As the holders of the Barony title, we are also the custodians of ‘old England’.

 

The feudal barony of Patrixbourne is a historical barony associated with the English feudal system and refers territorially to the town of Patrixbourne in the county of Kent in south-east England. The title is to be understood in the tradition of English feudal baronies, which originated in the medieval feudal structure following the Norman conquest of England in 1066.

Feudal baronies were originally associated with land ownership and certain obligations to the Crown. The holders of such a barony – the so-called feudal barons – had a direct feudal relationship with the monarch and were obliged to perform military or administrative services. In return, they were granted the right to dispose of their territory and exercise local jurisdiction.

The Barony of Patrixbourne is associated with the historic manor house and surrounding area of the village of Patrixbourne in Kent, a region with a long history of settlement and ecclesiastical tradition. The area is located near the city of Canterbury and for centuries was part of the local manorial and estate structure of the county of Kent.

The current title holder bears the title ‘12th Baron of Patrixbourne’ and thus stands in the symbolic tradition of the historic barony associated with the landscape and history of Patrixbourne. In its modern form, such a feudal barony no longer has any political or legislative powers within the United Kingdom. However, it is understood as a historical title and an expression of the continuing cultural and heraldic traditions of the British nobility.

The feudal barony of Patrixbourne is thus exemplary of the medieval roots of English land ownership and the continuing interest in the historical culture of the nobility and feudalism in Great Britain.

The British monarchy

Sir Andreas Stephan Wagner KtC, 12th Baron of Patrixbourne, explicitly and publicly identifies himself as a staunch British royalist. In his statements and conduct, he repeatedly emphasises his deep attachment to the British monarchy and his loyalty to the Crown of the United Kingdom. For him, the monarchy embodies not only a historical institution, but also an important symbol of continuity, tradition and national identity.

Sir Andreas Stephan Wagner therefore clearly professes royalist convictions and sees the constitutional monarchy as an essential part of the political and cultural order of Great Britain. His stance is unambiguous: he supports the monarchy out of conviction and consciously and unreservedly considers himself a British royalist.

God save the King.

Since 2025, the 12th Baron of Patrixbourne has been a member of the Crown Society.
Monarchy is more than an idea. It is a way of life. We believe in the importance of constitutional monarchy, a system that has evolved elegantly over the last 1,000 years of Britain's rich history and can also be found in other European nations.
