Earl of Worcester

Earl of Worcester is a title that has been created five times in the Peerage of England.

Like his father and brother he also held the title Count of Meulan in the French nobility.

The earldom of Worcester became extinct on the death of its first holder in 1422, while the barony was passed on to his daughter and only child, Elizabeth.

After the Lancastrians were restored to power under Henry VI, Worcester was captured and beheaded, with his titles forfeited.

He had previously served as Speaker of the House of Commons and Lord High Treasurer.
