 Earl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An official defining characteristic of an earl consisted of the receipt of the "third penny" of the revenues of justice of a shire.
Thus every earl had an association with some shire, and very often a new creation of an earldom would take place in favor of the county where the new earl already had large estates and local influence.
The eldest son of an Earl generally bears the courtesy title of Viscount or Lord ; one refers to a younger son of an earl as the Honourable [Forename] [Surname] and to a daughter as Lady [Forename] [Surname] ( Lady Diana Spencer furnishing a well-known example).

While Michael Fergus Bowes-Lyon, the 18th Earl is well liked by his tenants, as were his immediate forbears, the conduct or at least one of their ancestors called into being what became known as the 'horror' of Glamis.
It was Patrick, the Third Earl of Strathmore, who made the idea of a Glamis 'curse' widespread in the late 17th century: indeed, to many people he seemed the very embodiment of it.
