Charles Butler, 1st Earl of Arran

Lieutenant-General Charles Butler, Earl of Arran, de jure 3rd Duke of Ormonde (1671–1758), was an Anglo-Irish peer. His uncle Richard was the Earl of Arran of the first creation. The titles were re-created for Charles in 1693. His elder brother, the 2nd Duke of Ormonde, was attainted during the Jacobite rising of 1715, but in 1721 Arran was allowed to buy the estate back. At the death of the 2nd Duke, he succeeded as de jure 3rd Duke of Ormonde in the Irish peerage but did not claim the title.
