Earl Roberts

The title of Earl Roberts, was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1901 for Lord Roberts of Kandahar, the great British military hero. The Earldom and the Viscountcy awarded with it had the honour to be created with remainder to the Earl's daughters, as his sons had already predeceased him. The title became extinct upon the death of the 3rd Countess in 1955.

The first Earl bore the subsidiary titles of Viscount St Pierre (1901) and Baron Roberts of Kandahar (1892), the latter title becoming extinct on his death in 1914.
