Baron Auckland
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Earl of Auckland)
The Barony of Auckland exists in both the Peerage of Ireland and the Peerage of Great Britain. The first creation came in 1789 when the then-Postmaster-General William Eden was created Baron Eden in the Peerage of Ireland. In 1793, he was made a Baron in the Peerage of Great Britain and therefore obtained a seat in the House of Lords.
The second Baron, George, was created an Earl in 1839 while he served as Governor-General of India. The Earldom became extinct when he died.
