The peerage title Earl of Ormond and the related titles Duke and Marquess of Ormonde have a long and complex history. An earldom of Ormond has been created three times in the Peerage of Ireland. It was originally created in 1328 for James Butler. The fifth earl was created Earl of Wiltshire (1449) in the Peerage of England, but he was attainted in 1461 and his peerages were declared forfeit. The earldom of Ormond was restored to the sixth earl, John Butler, but returned to the crown on the death of the seventh earl. It was next created in 1529 for Thomas Boleyn, a maternal grandson of the 7th Earl. Through his daughter, Anne Boleyn, he was the grandfather of Elizabeth I, and he was also created Earl of Wiltshire in the Peerage of England. On his death these peerages became extinct. The third creation was for Piers Butler, a cousin of the 7th Earl, in 1538. The fifth earl of this creation was made Marquess of Ormonde (1642) and Duke of Ormonde (1660) in the Peerage of Ireland, andDuke of Ormonde (1682) in the Peerage of England. From then on, the spelling "Ormonde" was used almost universally.
