Earl of Ossory

Earl of Ossory

Earl of Ossory is a subsidiary title held by the Earl of Ormonde.

In 1662, the eldest son of James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde was called to the Irish House of Lords on a writ of acceleration and became known as Thomas Butler, 6th Earl of Ossory even though he predeceased his father and thus never became Earl of Ormonde himself.
