History
The title was created in 1831 for Sir Edward Lloyd, 2nd Baronet, who had earlier represented Flint Boroughs and Beaumaris in the House of Commons. His son, the second Baron, sat as a Member of Parliament for Flintshire and Lichfield and served as Lord Lieutenant of Merionethshire.{{cn|date=April 2024}}
The second baron had assumed the additional surname of Mostyn by royal licence in 1831, on the death of his mother's brother, the last of the Mostyn baronets.{{London Gazette|issue=18803|page=924|date=13 May 1831}} His eldest son and heir the Hon. Thomas Lloyd-Mostyn, who also represented Flintshire in Parliament, predeceased his father. Lord Mostyn was therefore succeeded by his grandson, the third Baron (the son of Thomas Lloyd-Mostyn). The 6th Baron died on 22 March 2011 and was succeeded by his only son.{{cite news|url=http://thoughtsofoscar.blogspot.com/2011/04/lord-mostyn.html |title=The Lord Mostyn |newspaper=The Times |date=2 April 2011}}
