The title of '''. The English-Irish version went into abeyance in 1616 when Hugh died in Rome. The O'Neill version of the title then became a Spanish creation, due to their lengthy participation in the armies of the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. The English title was created again in 1673 for Lord Power , but became extinct upon the death of the third earl in 1704 . It was created a final time in 1746 for Marcus Beresford , son-in-law of the last Power earl. His son was created Marquess Of Waterford in 1789 , and the title has since been a subsidiary title of the Waterford title. The Counts of Tyrone started as a Spanish Netherlands creation in 1621 when Patrick, the second son of Sean O'Neill (eldest son of Earl Hugh O'Neill) was granted this courtesy title by Infanta Isabella of the Spanish Netherlands. After the defeat of the Irish Confederate Army in 1648, these O'Neills took up service under the Crown of France. The title was accepted by the King and the family moved to Martinique until 1888. It transferred (unknowingly to John B. 1847 - d. 1918) to the descendants of another son of Conn Bacach O'Neill. This fact was not identified until the 1930s, when the title was actually restored to John's great grandson, James. EARLS OF TYRONE, FIRST CREATION (1542)
