From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Earl Kitchener of Khartoum is a peerage title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was bestowed in 1914 upon Field Marshal Horatio Kitchener, who had previously been created Baron Kitchener of Khartoum in 1898 and Viscount Kitchener of Khartoum in 1902. The titles of Viscount Broome and Baron Denton were granted along with the Earldom.
Lord Kitchener's Barony was granted with a remainder to his heirs male; since he died without issue, the title became extinct upon his death. The later titles, however, were created with a special remainder that allowed the title to pass to his brother, which it did.
