Marquess of Buckingham

Marquess of Buckingham was a title that has been created two times in the peerages of England and Great Britain.

The first creation of the marquessate was in 1618 for George Villiers, a favourite of James I of England.

The second creation came in 1784, when George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, 3rd Earl Temple was made Marquess of Buckingham in the Peerage of Great Britain.

He was son of George Grenville, Prime Minister of Great Britain.

However, on his grandson's death in 1889 without male issue, the marquessate of Buckingham became extinct.
