Note du spécialiste

The French soldier and diplomat Henry de Massue, Marquis de Ruvigny (1648-1720) became Viscount Galway in 1692, under the third creation of the title. He was made Earl of Galway in 1697. Both titles became extinct on his death in 1720 until the fourth creation in 1727 when John Monckton was made Baron Killard, Co. Clare and Viscount Galway.
