Earl of Surrey

Earl of Surrey is a hereditary British title of nobility in the Peerage of England, which was first awarded the Conqueror to William de Warenne in 1088 by Wilhelm. The title is often referred to as the Earl of Warenne, possibly because William had little land in Surrey.

The title then went to William's son and later his grandson about that also were named William. After that it carried the husbands of Isabelle, daughter of the 3rd Earl of Surrey. Her first husband was William of Blois, son of King Stephen, second husband was Hamelin de Warenne, a half-brother of King Henry II Hamelin took the name of Warenne and his son, grandson and great-grandson later carried the title.

After the male line of the Warennes was extinct in 1347 for the second time, the title went to Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel on. This was a nephew of the last Earl Warenne with the name. He was succeeded by his son Richard, the title was revoked in 1397 before his execution in 1397.

Then Thomas Holland, a grandson of the 10th Earl of Arundel to the Duke of Surrey was appointed. However, he wore this item for only two years until King Henry IV eluded him this and Richard Fitzalans son Thomas Earl of Surrey appointed. He died in 1415 without male heirs and the title lapsed. The title of Earl of Arundel passed to his cousin, who was not a descendant of the Warennes.

The title was then in 1483 awarded to Thomas Howard, who later became the second Duke of Norfolk. Since then, the title of Earl of Surrey is held by the family of Howard, and they have been, but then returned with some interruptions when deprived of the title.
