Earl Alexander of Tunis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earl Alexander of Tunis is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom that was created on 14 March 1952 for the 1st Viscount Alexander of Tunis, along with the courtesy title Baron Rideau, of Ottawa and of Castle Derg in the County of Tyrone. He had previously been created Viscount Alexander of Tunis, of Errigal in the County of Donegal, on 1 March 1946, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
The 1st Earl was the third son of the 4th Earl of Caledon. Consequently, the present holder of the Earldom is also in remainder to the Earldom of Caledon and its subsidiary titles. The 2nd Earl was in fact heir presumptive to the Earldom of Caledon from 1980 to 1990, before the birth of the current Earl of Caledon's son and heir, Lord Alexander.
