Encyclopedia > Earl of Ailesbury

The title Marquess of Ailesbury was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1821 for Charles Brudenell-Bruce, 2nd Earl of Ailesbury.


Lord Ailesbury holds the subsidiary titles of Earl of Cardigan (English, 1661), Earl of Ailesbury (Great Britain, 1776), Earl Bruce, of Whorlton in the County of York (UK, 1821), Viscount Savernake, of Savernake Forest in the County of Wilts (UK, 1821), Baron Brudenell, of Stanton Wyvill in the County of Leicester (English, 1628), and Baron Bruce, of Tottenham in the County of Wiltshire (Great Britain, 1746). He is also an English baronet, styled "of Deene in the County of Northampton". The English titles were inherited by the second Marquess in 1868 from a different branch of the family.


Lord Ailesbury is also Hereditary Warden of Savernake Forest.


The heir apparent to the marquessate normally bears the courtesy title Earl of Cardigan, whose heir apparent subsequently holds the title Viscount Savernake.
