In Ireland, the title was created in 1725 for John Bligh. The Earl's other titles are: ''Viscount Darnley of Athboy'' (created 1723; Peerage of Ireland), '' Baron Clifton Of Leighton Bromswold '' (created 1608; Peerage Of England ) and ''Baron Clifton of Rathmore'' (created 1721; Peerage of Ireland). The last one is - as Lord instead of Baron - the Courtesy Title of the earl's eldest son.
