NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Earl of Arran

Earl of Arran is a title in the Peerage of Ireland, and also in the Peerage of Scotland. The title was first created in Scotland in 1467 for Thomas Boyd, who was later attained for treason. The next creation was in 1503 for James Hamilton. In 1609, the first Marquess of Hamilton inherited the earldom. In 1643, the second Marquess was made Duke of Hamilton and received a second grant of the Earldom of Arran. At the death of the second Duke, the 1503 Earldom became dormant (i.e., it was unclaimed), while the 1643 Earldom descended along with the dukedom, with which it is still united.

The first Irish creation came in 1662 when Lord Richard Butler, younger son of James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde, was created Baron Butler of Cloughgrenan, Viscount Tullough and Earl of Arran; at his death, the title became extinct as he left no heirs. The next creation was for his nephew Charles Butler (who was also created Baron Butler of Cloughgrenan and Viscount Tullough), but that creation also ended in extinction.

The final creation in the Peerage of Ireland came in 1762, when Sir Arthur Gore, 3rd Baronet, of Newtown, was created Earl of Arran, of the Arran Islands in the County of Galway. He had previously represented Donegal Borough in the Irish House of Commons and had already been created Viscount Sudley, of Castle Gore in the County of Mayo (1758) and Baron Saunders, of Deeps in the County of Wexford (1758), in the Peerage of Ireland. The Baronetcy had been created in the Baronetage of Ireland for his great-grandfather in 1662. In 1884 the fifth Earl was created Baron Sudley, of Castle Gore in the County of Mayo, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. This peerage gave the earls an automatic seat in the House of Lords.
