Earl of Bellomont
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title of Earl of Bellomont was created three times in the Peerage of Ireland.
The first time it was created on 9 December 1680 for Charles Henry Kirkhoven, who had been created Baron Wotton on 31 August 1650. On his death in 1683, both titles became extinct.
The second creation was on 2 November 1689 for the later Governor of New York, Richard Coote, who was also Member of Parliament for Droitswich. After his death in 1701, both his sons succeeded him in turn, and the title became extinct on the 3rd Earl's death in 1766.
The third creation was on 4 September 1767 for the cousin of the 3rd Earl of the second creation, who had succeeded him in the Barony of Coote. This creation became extinct on his death in 1800.
