Encyclopedia > Earl of Northampton

The title of Marquess of Northampton was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1812 for the Earl of Northampton. An earlier Marquess of Northampton was William Parr, brother of Queen Catherine Parr, who was created Marquess by Edward VI in the Peerage of England, lost the title under Mary, and was granted a new creation of the title by Elizabeth, again in the Peerage of England.


The present (Compton) Marquess holds the subsidiary titles of Earl of Northampton (1618), Earl Compton (1812), and Baron Wilmington (1812), the first in the Peerage of England, the latter two in the Peerage of the UK.

Northampton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3608 words)
Northampton is a large market town and a local government district in central England on the River Nene, and the county town of Northamptonshire, in the English East Midlands region.
Northampton is the most populous district in England not to be a unitary authority, a status it failed to obtain in the 1990s local government reform.
Northampton's growth was accelerated in the 19th century, first by the Grand Union Canal, which reached the town in 1815 and later the coming of the railways.
