Earl Temple
The Baronetcy of Temple, of Stowe, in the
second cousin once removed
William Temple, of Nash House, who became 5th Baronet. On the death of Sir William's nephew Sir Richard Temple, 7th Baronet, on 15 November 1786, the baronetcy became dormant.
The Earldom of Temple was created in the
Duke of Buckingham and Chandos and Earl Temple of Stowe in the Peerage of the United Kingdom on 4 February 1822, the latter title with a special remainder to allow female descendants to succeed. On the death of the 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos on 26 March 1889, the Dukedom and Marquessate became extinct, as did the Earldom of 1749. The Earldom of 1822 passed to his nephew William Gore-Langton, son of his sister Lady Anna, and the Viscountcy of Cobham to his fourth cousin once removed, the 5th Lord Lyttelton and Westcote
, a great-great-grandson of the younger sister of the 1st Viscount. Both these titles remain extant.
