The house of Byron

Ralph de Buran (fl.1086) appears to have been the earliest known ancestor of the Byron family. By the late 1200s, Sir John Byron (1270-1316) was the first to use the surname of Byron rather than de Burun. John of Rochdale (1600-1650) became the first Baron Byron. The Barons Byron continues to the present and descendants live throughout Great Britain and the United States.
