Earl of St Albans

The Earl of St Albans was a title that was created twice in the 17th century, both times in the Peerage of England.

First, the title was created for Richard Bourke, Earl of Clanricarde by Charles I on 23 August 1628.[1] This creation became extinct upon the death of his son, Ulick Burke, 1st Marquess of Clanricarde, in 1657.[2]

Second, the title was created for Henry Jermyn, Baron Jermyn by Charles II on 27 April 1660 in recognition of Jermyn's loyalty during the Interregnum. This creation became extinct upon his death in 1684.[3]

Notes

  1. 1 2 The younger brothers of the 4th Marquess were allowed by a warrant of precedence from the King to "have, hold and enjoy the title, rank, place, pre-eminence and precedence as the sons [...] of a Marquess", because their father would have held the marquessate but for his predeceasing the previous holder.[4]
