Earl of Carysfort
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Earl of Carysfort was created in the Peerage of Ireland in 1789 for the 2nd Baron Carysfort. The title became extinct upon the death of the 5th Earl in 1909.
The 1st Earl's father, John Proby, had been created Baron Carysfort, of Carysfort in the County of Wicklow, also in the Peerage of Ireland, in 1752, and the 1st Earl was himself created Baron Carysfort, of the Hundred of Norman Cross in the County of Huntingdon, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, in 1801, which gave the Earls of Carysfort a seat in the British House of Lords.
The Heir Apparent to the Earldom used the invented courtesy title Lord Proby.
