Earl Amherst

Earl Amherst

Earl Amherst was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom created on 19 December 1826, along with the title Viscount Holmesdale, for the then Governor-General of India William Amherst, 2nd Baron Amherst.

His uncle, Sir Jeffrey Amherst, had been created Baron Amherst of Holmesdale on 20 May 1776 with a normal remainder, and thus this became extinct upon his death. However, on 6 September 1788 Lord Amherst was created Baron Amherst of Montreal with a special remainder to his nephew. All the titles became extinct on the death of the 5th Earl on 4 March 1993.
