a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1733 for John
Perceval, 1st Viscount Perceval. This Perceval descends from John
Perceval, who on 9 September 1661 was created a Baronet, of Kanturk in
the County of Cork, in the Baronetage of Ireland. He was succeeded by
his eldest son, the second Baronet. He died unmarried at an early age
and was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baronet. He also
died at an early age and was succeeded by his eldest son, the fourth
Baronet. He died at the age of only nine when the titles were inherited
by his younger brother, the fifth Baronet. He represented Cork in the
Irish House of Commons and Harwich in the British House of Commons and
also served as the first President of Georgia. Perceval was created
Baron Perceval, of Burton in the County of Cork, in 1715, with remainder
to the heirs male of his father, and Viscount Perceval, of Kanturk in
the County of Cork, in 1722, and Earl of Egmont in 1733, with remainder
to the heirs male of his body. All three titles were in the Peerage of
Ireland.
