In 1543, Murchadh Carrach MacToirdhealbaig Ó Briain was created Baron Inchiquin (pronounced "Inch-i-quin") and Earl of Thomond. This grant of title by the English king Henry VIII was conditional upon Murchadh abandoning his native titles, adopting English customs and laws, pledging of allegiance to the English crown and conversion to the Anglican Church.

The current holder of these titles is Conor Myles John O'Brien, 18th Baron Inchiquin (b. 1943) who since Irish independence is acknowledged according to Irish custom as Prince of Thomond.
