The concept of a barony as a personal dignity not tied to land arose only when, in about 1388,
Richard II created John Beauchamp a baron by letters patent.
In 1914, the Commander-in-Chief was General Sir Beauchamp Duff of the Indian Army,
and the Chief of the General Staff was Lieutenant General Sir Percy Lake of the British Army.
When considering the Belmont Report and the Common Rule today, we should remember that they were created in a different era and were- quite sensibly- responding to the problems of that era,
in particular breaches in medical ethics during and after the World War II(Beauchamp 2011).
