ULSTER, EARLS OF

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 568 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
ULSTER, EARLS OF . The earldom of Ulster was the first
title
  of honour in Ireland of
English
  creation, and for more than a
century
  was the only one. By many authorities John de Courci (q.v.), the conqueror of Ulster, is held to have been the first
earl
  of Ulster; " it is, however, certain," says J.H. Round, " that this
title
  was the invention of a
late
  chronicler, and that it first appears in the
Book
  of Howth, where we read of " Sir John Courcey,
earl
  and president of Ulster." The confusion probably arose from the words of a charter, dated the 29th of May 1205, by which King John confirmed to Hugh de
Lacy
 , whom he then created earl of Ulster, a grant of Ulster " as John de Courci held it on the day when Hugh conquered and took him prisoner in the field "; these words referring not to the earldom but to the lands held by de Courci, and possibly also to the authority which he had exercised in the king's name. The earldom therefore
dates
  from this grant to de
Lacy
  in 1205.
