Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Earl of Strafford is a title that has been created three times in British history. The first creation was in the Peerage of England in 1640 for Thomas Wentworth, 1st Baron Wentworth, the close advisor of King Charles I. He had already been created Baron Wentworth, of Wentworth-Woodhouse, Baron of Newmarch and Oversley, in 1628, Viscount Wentworth in 1629 and was made Baron Raby at the same time he was given the earldom. In 1641 he was attainted. His son successfully had the attainder reversed in 1662, but died without heirs in 1695 when the barony of Wentworth, viscountcy and earldom became extinct. He was succeeded in the barony of Raby according to a special remainder by his first cousin once removed, Thomas Wentworth, the third Baron. He was the grandson of Sir William Wentworth, younger brother of the first Earl of the 1640 creation. In 1711 the earldom was revived when he was created Viscount Wentworth and Earl of Strafford in the Peerage of Great Britain. However, all titles became extinct on the death of the third Earl in 1799.
