The feudal title Baron Drumlanrig was created for William Douglas, illegitimate son of James Douglas, 2nd Earl Of Douglas , some time before 1427, when he died. His descendent the 9th Baron Drumlanrig was created the 1st Earl of Queensberry in 1633. The subsidiary titles of Lord Queensberry are: Earl of Queensberry (created 1633), '''Viscount of Drumlanrig''' (1628) and '''Lord Douglas of Hawick and Tibbers''' (1628), all in the peerage of Scotland. He is also a Scottish Baronet , styled "of Kelhead", created 26 February 1668 , so the 6th Marquess was the 5th Baronet. The Courtesy Title used by Lord Queensberry's eldest son and heir is ''Viscount Drumlanrig''. There is no special Courtesy Title for Lord Drumlanrig's eldest son and heir. The 9th Marquess is particularly well-known because of the rules of Boxing that were named for him (the ''Marquess Of Queensberry'' Rules ), and for his litigious interaction with Oscar Wilde . In 22 June 1883 , Queen Victoria raised Francis Archibald Douglas , the heir of the 9th Marquess, to the Peerage Of The United Kingdom as Baron Kelhead. Francis Douglas died without descendants the following year and the title became extinct. EARLS OF QUEENSBERRY ( 1633 )
