Earl of Southampton

Earl of Southampton was a title that was created three times in the Peerage of England.

He had already been created Baron Wriothesley (pronounced "rose ley" /ˈroʊzli/) in 1544, also in the Peerage of England.

He was succeeded by his second but only surviving son, the fourth Earl, who was a prominent statesman and served as Lord High Treasurer under Charles II between 1660 and 1667.

However, Lord Southampton had no sons and the titles became extinct on his death in 1667.

She was made Baroness Nonsuch and Duchess of Cleveland at the same time.
