The first Earls of Macclesfield, from the Gerard family, held the subsidiary titles Viscount Brandon, of Brandon in the County of Suffolk ( 1679 ), and '''Baron Gerard''', of Brandon in the County of Suffolk ( 1645 ), both in the Peerage of England. The present Earls, from the Parker family, hold the subsidiary titles Viscount Parker, of Ewelme in the County of Oxford ( 1721 ), and '''Lord Parker''', Baron of Macclesfield in the County Palatine of Chester ( 1716 ), both in the Peerage of Great Britain. These titles were created with a special remainder, failing heirs male, to his daughter. The family seat is Shirburn Castle , near Oxford , but the castle and estate is held by the Beechwood Estates Company, the Macclesfield family estate management company. Following a long-running and acrimonious court battle, the 9th Earl was evicted from the family seat at the end of 2004. Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles , first husband of the Duchess Of Cornwall , is descended in the male line from the 6th Earl, and so is in distant remainder to the Earldom.
