Peerage: Viscountcies Coronet, Sixteen

Viscount (of) __ Wife's style, The Right Hon. the Viscountess (of) ___Children's style, 'The Hon.' before forename and family name The word viscount, known to be used in
English since 1387, comes from Old French visconte (modern French: vicomte), itself from Medieval Latin vicecomitem,
accusative of vicecomes, from Late Latin vice- "deputy" + Latin comes (originally "companion; later Roman
imperial courtier or trusted appointee, ultimately count). As a rank in British peerage, it was first recorded in
1440, when John Beaumont was created Viscount Beaumont by King Henry VI. The word viscount corresponds in Britain to the
Anglo-Saxon shire reeve (root of the non-nobiliary, royal-appointed office of sheriff). Thus early viscounts were originally
normally given their titles by the monarch, not hereditary; but soon they too tended to establish hereditary principalities
lato sensu (in the wider sense). A viscount is said to hold a "viscountship" or "viscounty", or (more as the area
of his jurisdiction) a "viscountcy". The female equivalent of a viscount is a viscountess. There are approximately
270 viscountships currently extant in the peerages of the British Isles. * In British practice, the title of a viscount may be either
a place name, or a surname, or sometimes, a combination thereof. In any event, the style of a viscount is "The
Viscount [X]", or "The Viscount [X] of [Y]". He is addressed as "My Lord". Examples include: The
Viscount Falmouth (place name); The Viscount Hardinge (surname); The Viscount Gage of Castle Island (surname of
place name); and The Viscount Combermere of Bhurtpore (placename of placename). An exception exists for Viscounts in
the peerage of Scotland, who were traditionally styled "The Viscount of [X]", as in: The Viscount of Arbuthnott
(surname)-very few maintain this style, instead using the more common version "The Viscount [X]". A British viscount is addressed in speech
as Lord [X], while his wife is Lady [X], and formally styles "The Viscount [X]". The children of a viscount
are known as The Honourable [Forename] [Surname]. * A specifically British custom is the use of viscount as a courtesy title for the
heir of an earl or marquess. The peer's heir apparent will sometimes be referred to as a viscount, if the second most
senior title held by the head of the family is a viscountcy. For example, the eldest son of the Earl Howe is Viscount
Curzon, because this is the second most senior title held by the Earl. A more recent example of the above is with the Earl of Wessex' son, James, who is styled
Viscount Severn. More often than not, the eldest son of a British duke enjoys the courtesy title of marquess; with exceptions
such as the Dukedom of Norfolk, which does not hold the secondary title of marquess, so the heir enjoysthe next title
down in status, which is that of an earl. * The son of a marquess or an earl can be referred to as a viscount when the title
of viscount is not the second most senior if those above it share their name with the substantive title. For example,
the second most senior title of the Marquess of Salisbury is the Earl of Salisbury. The eldest son of the Marquess
does not use the title Earl of Salisbury, but rather the next most senior title, Viscount Cranborne. This is because
peers sign their name with the name of their title only (e.g., "Salisbury") thus to prevent confusion the
heir would not use the title Earl of Salisbury.
