Information About

Earl Granville




The first creation came in the Peerage Of Great Britain in 1715 when Grace Carteret was made '''Countess Granville''' and '''Viscountess Carteret'''. She was the daughter of John Granville, 1st Earl Of Bath and the widow of George Carteret, 1st Baron Carteret . These titles became extinct in 1776 when the third Earl died without heirs.

The second creation came in the Peerage Of The United Kingdom in 1833 when the noted diplomat Lord Granville Leveson-Gower was made '''Earl Granville''' and '''Baron Leveson''', of Stone Park in the County of Stafford. He had already been created '''Viscount Granville''', of Stone Park in the County of Stafford, in 1815 . Leveson-Gower was the son of Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess Of Stafford by his third wife Susanna, the younger half-brother of George Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke Of Sutherland and the uncle of Francis Egerton, 1st Earl Of Ellesmere . He was also a great-great-nephew of the aforementioned Elizabeth Carteret, 1st Countess Granville. Hence, the 1833 creation of the Earldom of Granville was a revival of the title created in 1715 . The Earls Granville are in distant remainder to the Marquisate and its subsidiary titles.
