Earl of Barrymore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Earl of Barrymore is a title in the Peerage of Ireland created for David Barry, 6th Viscount Barry in 1627/28. Lord Barrymore held the subsidiary titles of Baron Barry (created c. 1261), and Viscount Barry (created 1541) in the County of Cork in Ireland. After the death of the 8th earl all these titles became extinct.

The Barrymore title was revived in 1902 in favour of Arthur Smith-Barry, who was created Baron Barrymore in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. He was the grandson of John Smith Barry, illegitimate son of James Hugh Smith Barry (d. 1837), son of the Hon. John Smith Barry, younger son of the fourth Earl of Barrymore.
