Viscount Lisle

Viscount Lisle

The title of Viscount Lisle has been created six times in the Peerage of England. The first creation, on 30 October 1451, was for John Talbot, 1st Baron Lisle. Upon the death of his son Thomas at the Battle of Nibley Green in 1470, the viscountcy became extinct and the barony abeyant.

In 1475, the abeyance terminated in favor of Thomas' aunt Elizabeth, wife of Sir Edward Grey. He was created Viscount Lisle on 28 June 1483, but the title became extinct on the death of his son John in 1504.

The barony now passed to John's posthumous daughter Elizabeth, whose wardship was granted to Sir Charles Brandon. He contracted to marry her, and was created Viscount Lisle on 15 May 1513 in consequence. However, he lost her wardship in 1515 after his clandestine marriage to Mary Tudor and presumably surrendered it around that time.

Elizabeth died in 1519, and the barony passed to her aunt, also named Elizabeth. Her husband, Arthur Plantagenet was created Viscount Lisle on 25 April 1523. However, they had no children, and the viscountcy became extinct upon his death in 1542.

Elizabeth had already died c. 1530, and the barony went to her son by her first marriage, John Dudley. He was created Viscount Lisle on 12 March 1543, and later rose to be Duke of Northumberland and Lord Protector; but he forfeited his titles upon his execution and attainder in 1553.

The final creation of the viscountcy was on 4 May 1605 as a subsidiary title for Robert Sidney, 1st Earl of Leicester, grandson of the Duke of Northumberland. It became extinct with the Earldom of Leicester in 1743.
