Christopher Preston was a member of the aristocracy in British Isles.

To help clear up any confusion regarding the numbering system:

• There were 3 successive Lords (or Barons) of Gormanstown starting ca.1370 -- Robert (d.1396), then Christopher (d.1422)^[1] then Christopher.
• In the next generation, the title was upgraded to Viscount in 1478 -- starting with Robert (d.1503, great-grandson of the above Robert) followed by William (2nd Viscount, d.1532), Jenico (3rd Viscount, d.1560), another Christopher (4th Viscount, d.1599), et al.
