High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Earl Rivers was an English title held in succession by the families of Woodville or Wydeville, Darcy and Savage. In 1299 John Rivers, or de Ripariis, was summoned to parliament as a baron, and his son John was similarly summoned by Edward II. The earldom was created for Sir Richard Woodville in 1466 and remained in this family until 1491. As borne by the Woodvilles the title was not derived from the name of a place, but from an ancient family name, Redvers, or Reviers, members of this family, whose arms are quartered on the Rivers shield, having been sometime Earls of Devon. From 1626 to his death in 1640 the earldom was held by Thomas Darcy, 1st Earl Rivers, who had been both, succeeded as Baron Darcy de Chiche (which he held as last) and created Baron Darcy de Chiche in 1613. From him, it descended by special remainder to his grandson John (c. 1610 1654), the son of his daughter Elizabeth (d. 1651) by her marriage with Sir Thomas Savage (d. 1635), who was created Viscount Savage in 1626. John's son Thomas (c. 1626 1694) was the 3rd earl, and his grandson Richard the 4th earl (see below).
