Viscount Gort

|
The Viscountcy of Gort has been created twice, once in the Peerage of Ireland and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The Viscountcy was first created in 1816 along with the subsidiary title Baron Kiltarton, with which it remains united. The sixth Viscount, Field Marshal John Vereker, received a second Viscountcy (in the Peerage of the UK), but it became extinct since he left no children, while the Irish titles had remainder to a cousin.
