This is just a matter of numbers, and thinking about how Lord Edmund Blackadder's grandfather could have been born. If Blackadder II is set in the 1560s when Lord Blackadder is about thirty, and taking into account the apparent age of his uncle Lord Whiteadder, it seems apparent that his grandfather would probably have had to have been born in the 1480s.

In order to hush this up, Henry VII gives the boy a lordship and has him raised at court, and thus he becomes the first Lord Blackadder.

[[WMG:The Third Blackadder was especially cruel to Baldrick because he blamed the Baldricks for his family's fall from grace]]
At some point between the second and third series, the Blackadder dynasty lost its noble status and had to go to work as domestic servants. Regency-era Blackadder resents this because he is aware of his family's former status.
* Specifically, this fall was due to Baldrick agreeing to become Charles I's executioner and then telling his Blackadder how much he was getting paid to do it, leading to the previously Royalist Sir Edmund Blackadder performing the execution himself (albeit after milking the King for all he was worth and then attempting Baldrick's cunning plan to fake the execution, only to have to do it for real when the crowd spotted that the head was just a pumpkin with a badly-drawn moustache on it).
