Earl of Wessex
In an unusual move Prince Edward was made Earl of Wessex and Viscount Severn in honour of his marriage to Sophie Rhys-Jones (styled as Countess of Wessex) in 1999. The title Earl of Wessex had not been in use for over 900 years. The last earl, King Harold, was famously killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
