While the history of the Barony of Caux (or Caus) only goes back to 1069 CE in England, its Norman territories in the Pays de Caux predate the ascension of Hugo le Corbeau, 1st Baron, in 1040 CE.

The present Baron, His Lordship John I is thought to be the 37th Baron of Caux, and third at least of that name, but is styled the 1st Baron in honour of the historic restitution of the Barony on August 27, 2001 CE.

The capital of the Barony is maintained at the Baronial Embassy to North America, at Toronto, Canada, but territories in Normandie and Shropshire, including the sites of Castle Caus and the Chateau of Caux, are claimed. Members of the Baronial family maintain their personal estates in Wyoming, Vermont and Canada.

The Barony's manors in Shropshire are famous for their bucolic beauty, and the Baron's demesnes in the Pays de Caux are known for their dramatic chalk cliffs and hanging valleys, or "veulettes". The floral gardens at the Ambassadorial Enclave at Toronto, Canada are planted with many species of wildflowers native to the ancient manors of the Barony, and they create a pleasing effect which is sure to captivate the first-time visitor and remind the homesick subject of the meadows of Caux.
