Earl Mountbatten of Burma


 

The title Earl Mountbatten of Burma was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1947 for Louis Mountbatten, 1st Viscount Mountbatten of Burma, the last Viceroy of India. The title is the first in over three centuries to allow descent in the female line. The letters patent creating the title specified the "remainder" allowing the title to descend to heirs male, and in default of such issue to his eldest daughter. Lord Mountbatten of Burma's eldest daughter Patricia succeeded as Countess Mountbatten of Burma upon the former's assassination.
