List of earldoms
This page lists all earldoms, extant, extinct, dormant, abeyant, or

forfeit, in the peerages of England, Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland Peerages and
and the United Kingdom. baronetcies of Britain
and Ireland
The Norman conquest of England introduced the continental
Frankish title of "count" (comes) into England, which soon Extant All
became identified with the previous titles of Danish "jarl" and Dukes Dukedoms
Anglo-Saxon "earl" in England. Until the reign of Edward III in
the 14th century, the peerage of England consisted exclusively of Marquesses Marquessates
earls and barons. Earls Earldoms
It remains a matter of debate whether early Anglo-Norman Viscounts Viscountcies

counts/earls held their title by tenure (as barons did) or as a Barons Baronies
personal dignity conferred separately from the land grants. At least
three types of early earldoms can be distinguished - (1) earls Baronets Baronetcies
palatine (e.g. Chester, Pembroke, Durham) whose titles were
connected to entire counties, with regal jurisdiction (jura regalia) and enjoying full privileges and fruits of
royal seigniory, (2) earldoms created by the king and appointed to a county, but only enjoying right to a
third of the profits of the pleas of the county court; (3) earldoms created by royal grants of large tracts of
land to be held in feudal service (per servitum unius comitatus), erecting the tract to a county to support the
earldom. Nonetheless, for the last few centuries of English history, earldoms have always been created by
letters patent or charters, and the volume of earldoms has long exceeded the number of territorial counties,
and, as a result, the names of many earldoms are associated with smaller units (estates, villages, families,
etc.).
