Baron of Barreto was a noble title created by the Regent Dom Fernando II, on behalf of Dom Pedro V, by Decree of 6 June 1855, in favour of Henrique Bliss e Barreto, a British subject.[1]
History
The title was originally created as Baron of Bliss, but its designation was altered to Baron of Barreto by Decree of 3 July 1873, following the grantee’s inheritance of a significant estate in Spain, bequeathed to him by Colonel Carlos António Barreto, which imposed upon him the obligation to adopt the surname Barreto.[1]
