Patrick Sarsfield's great nephew, Charles Bingham had the title re-created in 1795.

The title became notorious after the disappearance in 1974 of the 7th Earl, who is suspected of the murder of his children's nanny. Lord Lucan's son and heir cannot inherit the Earldom until his father is declared legally dead. Thus, whilst Lord Lucan's whereabouts are unknown, his son remains known by his courtesy title, Lord Bingham. Lord Bingham petitioned to take his father's seat in the House of Lords in 1999 but was refused by the Lord Chancellor. Later the High Court, on an application made by the Bingham family, declared Lucan officially dead but did not issue a death certificate. Whether he is actually dead or not remains a mystery and the title still in limbo.
