Peerage of Ireland 192649 216869193 2008-06-03T16:16:55Z Proteus 21902 rv - that link is a redirect to this article {{British Peerage}} The '''Peerage of Ireland''' is the term used for those [[peers]] created by British monarchs in their capacity as [[Lordship of Ireland|Lord]] or [[King of Ireland]]. This practice ended with the creation of the [[Irish Free State]] in [[1922]]. Before 1801, Irish Peers had the right to sit in the [[Irish House of Lords]], but after the Union in [[1801]], Irish peers elected 28 [[representative peer]]s to the House of Lords (see [[List of Irish representative peers]]). Irish Peerages continued to be created for some time after [[1801]] as a way of creating peerages which did not grant a seat in the [[House of Lords]], although the treaty of Union placed restrictions on them: three had to go extinct before one could be granted, at least until there were only 100 Irish peerages. The last to be granted was for [[George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston|Lord Curzon]] in [[1898]]. The ranks of the Irish peerage are [[Duke]], [[Marquess]], [[Earl]], [[Viscount]] and [[Baron]]. In the following table of the Peerage of Ireland as it currently stands, each peer's highest titles in each of the other Peerages (if any) are also listed. ==Dukes in the Peerage of Ireland== {| class="wikitable" !
