Arthur Annesley, 1st Earl of Mountnorris FRS (7 August 1744 - 4 July 1816) was an Irish peer. He succeeded to the title of 6th Baron Altham, of Altham, in County Cork, and to the title of 8th Viscount Valentia upon his father's death on 14 February 1761.
On 22 April 1771, the House of Lords decided that his claim to his father's English titles was not valid, so they became extinct on his father's death in 1761. He was created 1st Earl of Mountnorris [Ireland] on 3 December 1793.
Early Life
p. Richard Annesley, 6th Earl of Anglesey and Countess Juliana Donovan[1]
member of junior sep of O'Donovans of Clan Loughlin, Donovans of Ballymore in County Wexford. She was initially rumored to be of lower birth, the ancient pedigrees of some Irish families not being widely known in the English-speaking world at that time, and hers deriving from a remote region of Ireland, the Barony of Carbery. The Countess Juliana was the great-great-great-granddaughter of Donel Oge na Cartan O'Donovan, 1st Lord of Clan Loughlin to hold his territories from the Crown, from 1616
younger son of Henry Somerset, 5th Duke of Beaufort
