This article is a list of viscountcies in the peerages of Britain and Ireland, including the England, the Scotland, the Ireland, the Great Britain and the Peerage of the United Kingdom, listed in order of creation, including extant, extinct and abeyant titles. A viscount is the fourth rank in the peerage of the United Kingdom, Great Britain, England, Scotland and Ireland. A relatively late introduction, holders of the title take precedence after earls and before barons.[n 1]
The term "viscount" (vice-comes) was originally a judicial honorific, long used in Anglo-Norman England to refer to a county sheriff. It was only turned into a noble title, with hereditary dignity, in England by Henry VI in 1440,[2] following the similar transformation of that title in France.[3]
The majority of viscountcies are held by peers with higher titles, such as duke, marquess or earl; this can come about for a number of reasons, including the title being created as a subsidiary title at the same time as the higher peerage, the holder being elevated at a later time to a higher peerage or through inheritance when one individual is the heir to two separate titles.[4]
Viscounts were created in the peerages of England and Scotland until the Act of Union 1707, thereafter being created in the peerage of Great Britain. After the Acts of Union 1800 came into effect in 1801, all peerages were created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Viscounts in the Peerage of Ireland were created by English and British monarchs in their capacity as Lord or King of Ireland. Irish peers were not initially granted a seat in the House of Lords and so allowed the grantee to sit in the House of Commons. Viscounts of Ireland have precedence below peers of England, Scotland, and Great Britain of the same rank, and above peers of the United Kingdom of the same rank; but Irish peers created after 1801 yield to United Kingdom peers of earlier creation.
A number of Speakers of the House of Commons have been elevated to the peerage as viscounts. Of the nineteen Speakers between 1801 and 1983, eleven were made viscounts, five were made barons, one refused a peerage and two died in office (and their widows were created a viscountess and a baroness).[n 2] The last such was George Thomas, 1st Viscount Tonypandy upon his retirement in 1983. Since then it has become more common to grant life peerages to retiring Speakers.
Naming conventions
[edit]In British practice, the title of a viscount may be either a place name, a surname, or a combination thereof: examples include the Viscount Falmouth, the Viscount Hardinge and the Viscount Colville of Culross, respectively. An exception exists for Viscounts in the peerage of Scotland, who were traditionally styled "The Viscount of [X]", such as the Viscount of Arbuthnott. In practice, however, very few maintain this style, instead using the more common version "The Viscount [X]" in general parlance.
Courtesy viscountcies
[edit]Many extant viscountcies are used as courtesy titles; a specifically British custom is the heir apparent of an earl or marquess being referred to as a viscount, if the second most senior title held by the head of the family is a viscount. For example, the eldest son of the Earl Howe is Viscount Curzon, because this is the second most senior title held by the Earl.[5] However, the son of a marquess or an earl can be referred to as a viscount when the title of viscount is not the second most senior if those above it share their name with the substantive title. For example, the second most senior title of the Marquess of Salisbury is the Earl of Salisbury, so his heir uses the lower title of Viscount Cranborne, to avoid any possible confusion caused by them both being referred to as Lord Salisbury. Sometimes the son of a peer can be referred to as a viscount even when he could use a more senior courtesy title which differs in name from the substantive title. Family tradition plays a role in this. For example, the eldest son of the Marquess of Londonderry is Viscount Castlereagh, even though the Marquess is also the Earl Vane.[6][7]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ On the evening of the Coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838, the Prime Minister Lord Melbourne explained to her why (from her journals): "I spoke to Ld M. about the numbers of Peers present at the Coronation, & he said it was quite unprecedented. I observed that there were very few Viscounts, to which he replied "There are very few Viscounts," that they were an old sort of title & not really English; that they came from Vice-Comites; that Dukes & Barons were the only real English titles;—that Marquises were likewise not English, & that people were mere made Marquises, when it was not wished that they should be made Dukes."[1]
- ^ The first viscounts Sidmouth, Canterbury, Eversley, Ossington, Hampden, Peel, Selby, Ullswater, Ruffside, Dunrossil and Tonypandy were all retired Speakers of the House of Commons.
- ^ Unusually for a viscountcy, the viscountcy of Thetford was created with remainder to the heirs male and female of the first viscount,[52] Henry Bennet, thus when John FitzRoy, the 10th Viscount died childess, the title fell into abeyance between his two sisters.[53]
- ^ The exact date of the elevation of Viscount Buttevant is uncertain, though it is thought to be sometime around the turn of the 15th century:'The earliest document which mentions the title of VISCOUNT BUTTEVANT, bears the date in 1406, and is enrolled on the patent roll, in the rolls office of chancery, in Ireland, of the 12th of King James I. It recites that John Barry, esq. required a certain deed to be enrolled in chancery, dated the Monday next before the Epiphany, in the 7th of King Henry IV., (1406,) whereby James, VISCOUNT BUTTEVANT, granted to John Stapleton, gentleman, the lands of the Island Cullyne, at the rent of two shillings Irish per annum. This James was probably created VISCOUNT BUTTEVANT, either by King Richard II. on his last visit to Ireland, or by Henry IV. soon after his accession'.[158] 'G.D. Burtchaell, who has investigated this question thoroughly, writes; " I am convinced that the titles of Viscount Buttevant and Viscount Fermoy were unknown before the reign of Henry VIII, and that such titles were never created; and that Lord Barry and Lord Roche managed to get themselves acknowledged as Viscounts with precedence before Gormanston, who was the first and only Viscount until Barry and Roche insisted on being treated as such." ' - Complete Peerage, 2nd edition, Vol 1, Appendix A, P 459
- ^ The Titles Deprivation Act 1917 is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom which authorised enemies of the United Kingdom during the First World War to be deprived of their British peerages and royal titles. The Viscounts Taaffe had emigrated to continental Europe in the 17th century and remained loyal to the Austrian emperor during the war. 'Their Lordships do humbly report to Your Majesty that the persons hereinafter named have adhered to Your Majesty's enemies during the present war: —His Royal Highness Leopold Charles, Duke of Albany, Earl of Clarence and Baron Arklow; His Royal Highness Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, Earl of Armagh; His Royal Highness Ernest Augustus (Duke of Brunswick), Prince of Great Britain and Ireland; Henry, Viscount Taaffe of Corren and Baron of Ballymote.' [173]
- ^ Francis Annesley, 1st Viscount Valentia, of the second creation, had a patent granted to him stating that the title of Viscount Valentia would devolve to him upon the death of Henry Power, 1st Viscount Valentia, of the first creation. Henry Power died without issue in 1642.[177]
