Conroy baronets

The Conroy Baronetcy,^[1] of Llanbrynmair in the historic County of Montgomery, Wales, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

The title was created on 7 July 1837 for Sir John Conroy,^[2]^[3] Comptroller of the household of the Duchess of Kent, mother of Queen Victoria. Victoria had previously dismissed Conroy from her household and the baronetcy was conferred on him with the understanding that he would not show himself at court in return. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in 1900.
