It was created on 12 July 1725 for William Bateman, previously Member of Parliament for Leominster and the son of Sir James Bateman, Lord Mayor of London from 1716 to 1717. He was made Baron Culmore, in the County of Londonderry, at the same time, also in the Peerage of Ireland. He was succeeded by his son, the second Viscount. He was also a politician and notably served as Treasurer of the Household between 1756 and 1757 and as Master of the Buckhounds between 1757 and 1782. He was childless and the titles became extinct on his death in 1802. As both the barony and viscountcy were Irish peerages, the holders sat in the House of Commons while holding the title.
Viscount Mountmorres was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 29 June 1763 for Hervey Morres, 1st Baron Mountmorres, who had previously represented St Canice in the Irish House of Commons. He had been created Baron Mountmorres, of Castlemorres in the County of Kilkenny, on 4 May 1756, also in the Peerage of Ireland. He was the grandson of Hervey Morres, member of the Irish Parliament for Knocktopher, younger son of Sir Redmond Morres, 2nd Baronet, of Knockagh. Lord Mountmorres was succeeded by his son from his first marriage, the second Viscount. In 1795 he also succeeded his kinsman as 10th Baronet of Knockagh. He was succeeded in both the baronetcy and peerages by his half-brother, the third Viscount. He assumed in 1815 by Royal licence the surname of de Montmorency in lieu of Morres. On his death the titles passed to his son, the fourth Viscount. He was Dean of Cloyne and Dean of Achonry. The titles descended from father to son until the death of his grandson, the sixth Viscount, in 1936. The late Viscount was succeeded by his first cousin, the seventh Viscount. He was the son of the Hon. Arthur de Montmorency, fourth son of the fourth Viscount. He had no male issue and on his death in 1951 the barony and viscountcy became extinct.
Viscount Frankfort de Montmorency, of Galmoye in the County of Kilkenny, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 22 January 1816 for Lodge de Montmorency, 1st Baron Frankfort, who had earlier represented Bandon Bridge, Dingle, Inistioge and Ennis in the Irish House of Commons. He had already been made Baron Frankfort, of Galmoye in the County of Kilkenny, on 31 July 1800, also in the Peerage of Ireland. Born Lodge Evans Morres, he assumed in 1815 by Royal licence the surname of de Montmorency in lieu of Morres. However, the French House of de Montmorency never recognised his claim to be a member of that house. His grandson, the third Viscount, was a Major-General in the British Army and sat in the House of Lords as an Irish Representative Peer between 1900 and 1902. The latter's eldest son, the Honourable Raymond de Montmorency, was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. He was killed in action in the Second Boer War two years later, predeceasing his father by two years. The third Viscount was succeeded by his second and only surviving son, the fourth Viscount. He was also a soldier. He died childless in 1917 when the titles became extinct.
