Award and subordinate titles
The title was bestowed on September 5, 1746, to John Hobart, 1st Baron Hobart . On May 28, 1728, he had already been raised to Baron Hobart , of Blickling in the County of Norfolk , also in the Peerage of Great Britain . In 1698 he had also inherited the title of 5th Baronet , of Intwood in the County of Norfolk, which had been created in 1611 in the Baronetage of England.
On November 30, 1798, Robert Hobart , the eldest son of the 3rd Earl, was called to Parliament by the Writ of Acceleration . He thereby inherited the paternal title Baron Hobart prematurely . When his father died on October 14, 1804, he inherited him as 4th Earl.
