Marquess of Normanby

Marquess of Normanby was a title in the peerage of England and later a separate title in the peerage of the United Kingdom.

The first title was created in the peerage of England in 1694 for John Sheffield, who was later advanced to a dukedom. All of his titles became extinct with the death of his son. The second title was created in the peerage of the United Kingdom for Constantine Henry Phipps on June 25, 1838. He was the step-grandson of the aforementioned John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby.

The subsidiary titles of the present Marquess of Normanby are: Earl of Mulgrave (created 1812), Viscount Normanby (1812) and Baron Mulgrave (1767 and 1794). The Barony of Mulgrave was first created in the Peerage of Ireland, and then again in the Peerage of Great Britain. The remaining titles are in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
