Earl of Wilton
|
|
The title Earl of Wilton, of Wilton Castle in the County of Hereford, was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1801 for the 1st Baron Grey de Wilton.
Lord Wilton bears the subsidiary titles Viscount Grey de Wilton (1801) and Baron Ebury, of Ebury Manor in the County of Middlesex (1857), both in the Peerage of the UK. The Barony of Grey de Wilton (1784) in the Peerage of Great Britain, created for the 1st Earl before the creation of the Earldom, was not created with the same special remainder as the Earldom and Viscountcy, and so became extinct on his death. The Baron of Ebury has been held by the Earls of Wilton since 1999, when the 6th Baron Ebury succeeded his kinsman as 8th Earl of Wilton.
