The name Ormond originates from Ormond Castle at Avoch in the Black Isle, held by the Douglas family.

Douglas Earls of Ormond

The first creation of the earldom was in 1445 for the soldier Hugh Douglas, a younger brother of the 8th and 9th Earls of Douglas. Following the assassination of his brother the 8th Earl of Douglas by King James II, Ormond and his brothers renounced their allegiance to the crown and went into open rebellion. In 1455, Ormond was defeated by Royal forces at the Battle of Arkinholm and captured, tried for treason and executed, with his earldom forfeiting back to the crown.

The second creation of the earldom was in 1651 for the Master of Douglas, the eldest son & heir of the Marquess of Douglas, with a special remainder to the heirs male of his second marriage. The title became extinct in 1715.

Stuart Marquesses of Ormond

The first creation of the marquessate was in 1476 for James III's second son upon his baptism. In 1488 the Marquess of Ormond was created Duke of Ross, the titles were held concurrently until his death in 1504.

The marquessate was created a second time in 1600 as a subsidiary title for the future King Charles I, the Duke of Albany. The title merged with the crown in 1625.
