Marquess of Normanby

Marquess of Normanby is a hereditary British title of nobility, which was awarded twice. It is supported now by the family Phipps.

The family seat is at Whitby Mulgrave Castle in Yorkshire.

Ceremonies

The first ceremony took place in 1694 in the Peerage of England to John Sheffield, 3rd Earl of Mulgrave. This was an important statesman. In 1703 he was raised to the Duke of Buckingham and Normanby. The eldest son and heir then led the courtesy title Marquess of Normanby, who was otherwise a subordinate title of the Dukes. The title extinguished, as the second Duke died childless in 1735.

The title was in 1838 for a second time in the Peerage of the United Kingdom of Constantine Phipps, 2nd Earl of Mulgrave awarded. This was a distant relative of John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland since 1835.

Subordinate title

The first Marquess and later Duke had ( created in 1626 ) inherited from his ancestors already the title of Baron Sheffield ( created 1547) and Earl of Mulgrave. After his elevation to Marquess he led both Would that belonged to the Peerage of England, as subordinate title. They went out with his death.

An ancestor of the first Marquess of the second ceremony had been raised in 1767 for Baron Mulgrave, of New Ross in the County of Wexford. The title belongs to the Peerage of Ireland. The father of the first Marquess, Henry Phipps, 3rd Baron Mulgrave, a son of the foregoing, among other things, was foreign minister. To him, the dignity of a Baron Mulgrave in 1794 awarded in the Peerage of Great Britain, which was different from the Irish dignity connected to a seat in the House of Lords. 1812, the title Earl of Mulgrave and Viscount Normanby were awarded him, belonging to the peerage of the United Kingdom. All three titles are listed as subordinate title of Marquessates. The heir takes the courtesy title Earl of Mulgrave, whose eldest son, the courtesy title Viscount Normanby.

Another title

Also, the second Baron Mulgrave in the Peerage of Ireland in 1790 was already the belonging to the Peerage of Great Britain as Baron Mulgrave, of Mulgrave in the County of York, was awarded. The barony became extinct two years later, when the Baron died childless.
