Earl of Rutland

Earl of Rutland is a hereditary British title of nobility awarded three times in the Peerage of England . The title is named after the Rutland region in England .

Awards

The title was first created on February 25, 1390 for Edward Plantagenet, 2nd Duke of York . In 1402 he had inherited the title Duke of York from his father , which he had been awarded in 1384. Since he was childless, the earldom was extinguished on his death on October 25, 1415.

In the second award, the title was newly created on January 29, 1446 for the great-nephew of the earl's first award, Edmund Plantagenet . The title was stripped from him by the Act of Parliament during the Wars of the Roses in 1459 , but was restored to him in October 1460. The title finally expired on his childless death on December 30, 1460.

In the third award of the title on June 18, 1525 Thomas Manners, 12th Baron de Ros , was bestowed. In 1513 he had inherited the title of Baron de Ros from his father . The latter is hereditary as Barony by writ also in the female line and was therefore only run by the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th Earl and was otherwise worn by other relatives. The later 9th Earl was given the title of Baron Manners de Haddon in 1679 . In 1703 he was also raised to Duke of Rutland and Marquess of Granby . The Earldom Rutland has since been a subordinate title of the respective Duke of Rutland.
