Earl of Conway

Earl of Conway

The title of Viscount Conway was created in the Peerage of England in 1624. The viscounts also held the title of Baron Conway (1624), in the Peerage of England, and Viscount Killultagh (1627) in the Peerage of Ireland. In 1679, the 3rd Viscount was created Earl of Conway in the Peerage of England. All of the titles became extinct upon his death in 1683. However, his estates were inherited by his relative Francis Seymour (1679-1732), who in 1703 assumed the additional surname of Conway and was created Baron Conway, of Ragley in the County of Warwick, in the Peerage of England. In 1712 he was also made Baron Conway of Killultagh, of Killultagh in the County of Antrim, in the Peerage of Ireland. His son, the second Baron, was created Marquess of Hertford in 1793.
