Nugent baronets


There have been nine baronetcies created for persons with the surname Nugent, four in the Baronetage of Ireland and five in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Six of the creations are extinct, while three are extant.

The Nugent Baronetcy, of Moyrath in the County of Westmeath, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 14 January 1622 for Thomas Nugent. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in c. 1700.

The Nugent Baronetcy, of Donore in the County of Westmeath, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 18 July 1768 for James Nugent, with remainder to his younger brother Peter. On the latter's death in 1799 the title became extinct. However, their great-nephew was created a Baronet in 1831 (see below).

The Nugent Baronetcy, of Dysery in the County of Westmeath, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 3 December 1782 for Nicholas Nugent. The title became extinct on his death in c. 1813.

The O'Reilly, later Nugent Baronetcy, of Ballinlough in the County of Westmeath, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 23 July 1795 for Hugh O'Reilly. In 1812, on the death of his maternal uncle John Nugent, he assumed by Royal licence the surname of Nugent. His younger brother Andrew O'Reilly was a General der Kavallerie in the Austrian Army and a Count of the Austrian Empire. Their sister Margaret married Richard Talbot and was, as a widow, created Baroness Talbot of Malahide in 1831. The third Baronet was Chamberlain to the Emperor of Austria and was also created a Count of the Austrian Empire. The Austrian statesman and soldier Laval Nugent von Westmeath also belonged to this family. The family seat is Ballinlough Castle, Clonmellon, County Westmeath.
