This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Baron Hazlerigg” as barony in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as barony in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4862454. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1945, 2023, 2022 and 1622.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
