Earl Of YarmouthThe title of Earl of Yarmouth is a title in the Peerage of Great Britain, a subsidiary title of the Marquess of Hertford created in 1793. It is used as a courtesy title by the heirs to the marquessate. The title was created several times in the past - in the Peerage of England in 1679, becoming extinct in 1732, and again in the Peerage of Great Britain in 1740, being this time created for the mistress of King George II. This title became extinct upon the countess's death in 1765. The Earls of Yarmouth of the 1679 creation held the subsidiary titles of Viscount Yarmouth and Baron Paston (both 1673) in the Peerage of England. The Countess of Yarmouth held the subsidiary title of Baroness Yarmouth, created at the same time as the earldom.
