The Viscountcy of Surrey is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Great Britain. The first holder of the title was Mr. Edgar Fitzgerald. Since 1702 it has been subsumed into the Earldom of Rotherham.
History
The Viscountcy of Surrey was awarded to Mr. Edgar Fizgerald of Surreton in 1356 by Edward III for services rendered in the Battle of Poitiers. His elder brother, Sir Francis Fitzgerald received the title of Earl of Rotherham at the same time. The family divided from this point but were not united until 1702 when Edgar's line died out and the title passed to Francis' side.
The Surrey seat is at Surrey Lodge in Cheshire. The title of Lord Surrey is now used as a courtesy title. The 19th and current Viscount Surrey is Richard Fitzgerald.
