DEFINITION

members of the British peerage ranking below a marquess and above a viscount, British noblemen equivalent to counts in continental Europe, holders of hereditary titles in the United Kingdom

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The earls attended the coronation ceremony wearing their traditional robes and ceremonial insignia. Historical earls governed large shires and provided counsel to the king on important matters.

Modern earls retain ceremonial roles but hold limited political power in contemporary Britain.
