This page lists all earldoms , extant, extinct, dormant, abeyant, or forfeit, in the peerages of England , Scotland , Great Britain , Ireland and the United Kingdom .
The Norman conquest of England introduced the continental Frankish title of "count " (comes ) into England, which soon became identified with the previous titles of Danish "jarl" and Anglo-Saxon "earl" in England. Until the reign of Edward III in the 14th century, the peerage of England consisted exclusively of earls and barons .
It remains a matter of debate whether early Anglo-Norman counts/earls held their title by tenure (as barons did) or as a personal dignity conferred separately from the land grants. At least three types of early earldoms can be distinguished - (1) earls palatine (e.g. Chester , Pembroke , Durham ) whose titles were connected to entire counties, with regal jurisdiction (jura regalia ) and enjoying full privileges and fruits of royal seigniory, (2) earldoms created by the king and appointed to a county, but only enjoying right to a third of the profits of the pleas of the county court; (3) earldoms created by royal grants of large tracts of land to be held in feudal service (per servitum unius comitatus ), erecting the tract to a county to support the earldom. Nonetheless, for the last few centuries of English history, earldoms have always been created by letters patent or charters , and the volume of earldoms has long exceeded the number of territorial counties , and, as a result, the names of many earldoms are associated with smaller units (estates, villages, families, etc.).[ 1]
