From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Saunders Gore, 3rd Earl of Arran (20 July 1761-20 January 1837), known as Viscount Sudley from 1773 to 1809, was an Irish peer and Tory Member of Parliament.
Arran was the eldest son of Arthur Saunders Gore, 2nd Earl of Arran, by his first wife the Hon. Catherine Annesley. He was elected to the Irish House of Commons for Baltimore in 1783, a seat he held until 1790, and then represented County Donegal in the British House of Commons from 1801 to 1806. In 1809 he succeeded his father as third Earl of Arran but as this was an Irish peerage id did not entitle him to a seat in the House of Lords.
Lord Arran married Mary Tyrell, daughter of Sir John Tyrell, 5th Baronet, in 1787. They had no children. He died in January 1837, aged 75, and was succeeded in his titles by his nephew Philip.
