Earl of Middlesex

Earl of Middlesex

The title of Earl of Middlesex has been created twice in the Peerage of England. The first creation was in 1622 for Lionel Cranfield, the Lord High Treasurer, who had been created Baron Cranfield the year before. Both titles became extinct in 1674. The next creation was for Charles Sackville, Lord Buckhurst, son of Frances, daughter of the 1st Earl of Middlesex and sister of the second and third Earls. He was created Earl of Middlesex and Baron Cranfield in 1675. He succeeded his father as 6th Earl of Dorset in 1677, and the two earldoms remained united until the death in 1843 of the 5th Duke of Dorset, 11th Earl of Dorset and 6th Earl of Middlesex, when all the titles became extinct.
