Page "Marquess of Ailesbury" Paragraph 2

The 2nd Baron Bruce, who changed his surname to " Brudenell-Bruce ", was then created Earl of Ailesbury, on 10 June 1776, in the Peerage of Great Britain.

The 2nd Earl of Ailesbury was created Marquess of Ailesbury on 17 July 1821, along with the subsidiary titles Earl Bruce, of Whorlton in the County of York, and Viscount Savernake, of Savernake Forest in the County of Wilts, all in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

In 1868, the 2nd Marquess of Ailesbury inherited the Earldom of Cardigan, and so the Marquesses of Ailesbury now also hold the titles Earl of Cardigan ( 1661 ) and Baron Brudenell, of Stanton Wyvill in the County of Leicester ( 1628 ), in the Peerage of England, as well as being Baronets of England, styled " of Deene in the County of Northampton ".
