Earl Of Castlehaven

Upon the attainder of the second earl for felony in 1631, he forfeited his English peerage, but not his Irish titles. His son, the third earl, was created ''Baron Audley of Hely'' on June 3 , 1633 by letters patent, with the precedence of his grandfather, in an attempt to restore to him the original ''Barony of Audley''. However, this was deemed insufficient to do so; a bill was passed in Parliament in 1678 which allowed him to inherit the original Barony despite the attainder.

With the death of the eighth earl, the Earldom of Castlehaven and the Baronies of Audley of Hely and Audley of Orier became extinct. The Barony of Audley created by writ of 1312 devolved upon his nephew, George Thicknesse, 19th Baron Audley .
