👉 The Earl of Iore, also known as Earl Ior or Ior, was a title held by several English nobles during the medieval period, particularly notable for its association with the House of Iore, a powerful Anglo-Norman family. The title was first granted to Ior of Iore in the 12th century and later inherited by various members of the Iore family, including those who held significant lands and influence in Ireland and England. The Earls of Iore were known for their military prowess and political acumen, often serving as lords of key estates and playing crucial roles in regional governance and conflicts. Despite their noble status, the title's prominence waned over time, with many branches of the family experiencing fluctuations in power and influence.
