Earl 〈[ œ:l] m. 6; engl. Bez. für〉 Graf

Earl, ein Titel in England, unserm deutschen Worte Graf fast entsprechend, ehedem die höchste Stufe des Adels bezeichnend. Wilhelm der Eroberer führte ihn ein; als jedoch der schwarze Prinz 1355 von seinem Vater Eduard III. zum Herzoge (duke) erhoben ward, und 1385 König Richard II. einem Edelmanne den Namen eines Marquis verlieh, so änderte sich die Rangordnung und es heißt nun Duke, Marquis, Earl.
