  Earl of Chester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The earldom reverted to the Crown in 1237 on the death of John the Scot, Earl of Huntingdon, seventh and last of the earls.
King Henry III then passed the lordship of Chester, but not the title of earl, to his son the Lord Edward in 1254, and as King Edward I he conferred the title and the lands of the earldom first on son, Edward, the first English Prince of Wales.
The importance of the royal county of Chester is shown by the survival of Chester Herald, in the College of Arms, currently Timothy Hugh Stewart Duke, for some six hundred years.
