Edmund Lyons, 1st Baron LyonsAdmiral Edmund Lyons, 1st Baron Lyons, (21 November 1790 – 23 November 1858) was an eminent British Admiral of the Royal Navy, and diplomat, who ensured Britain's victory in the Crimean War, during which he was Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, by his contribution at the Siege of Sevastopol (1854–1855) with both the Royal Navy and the British Army. As a consequence of his 'intelligence and great ability', 'quiet humour', 'frankness and urbanity', and 'vigilance and practical skill', Lyons was appointed to ambassadorial positions in Sweden, and in Switzerland, and to the court of King Otto of Greece. Lyons (whose brother Vice-Admiral John Lyons was on HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar and served as British ambassador to Egypt) was the father of the diplomat Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons (who was the British ambassador to the US who solved the Trent Affair, and who was later British ambassador to France). Edmund's nephews included Admiral of the Fleet Sir Algernon Lyons.

Marquis de ValladoMarquis de Vallado is a Spanish title bestowed upon Humphrey Walrond on 5 August 1653, by King Philip IV of Spain. Walrond, from Sea, Somerset, was a distinguished Royalist commander, and subsequent Deputy Governor of Barbados. He defeated the Roundheads in the island in 1650, maintained a Royalist regime there throughout the Commonwealth and Protectorate, was appointed Deputy Governor in 1660, but continued to act as Governor until 1662. Along with the Marquisate he was also created the Conde de Parama y Valderonda ("Count of Parama and Valderonda") and a Grandee of the 1st Class. It was general practice for the eldest son of the incumbent of the title to bear the lesser and courtesy title of Conde de Parama. The Walrond family was closely associated with the Lyons family, who monopolised the Government of Antigua during the 18th century. The 5th Marquis de Vallado married Sarah Lyons (1731-1764), and the daughter of the 5th Marquis and Sarah Lyons, Catherine Walrond, married Captain John Lyons, by whom she had had 15 children, including Edmund Lyons, 1st Baron Lyons. Therefore, Richard Lyons, 1st Viscount Lyons, the diplomat who solved the Trent Affair; Sir Algernon McLennan Lyons, Admiral of the Fleet; and Richard Lyons Pearson, Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, were all descendants of the 5th Marquis de Vallado, by Catherine Walrond, who was herself the daughter of Sarah Lyons (1731-1764). The following is a list of those members of the Walrond family who inherited these Spanish honours:
