From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Earldom of Drogheda (pronounced "Droyida" see Drogheda for more information) was created in the Peerage of Ireland in 1661. Other Irish titles held by the Earl include: Viscount Moore (created 1621) and Baron Moore (1616). Furthermore, the Earl is Baron Moore of Cobham in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. That title was created in 1954.
