It was created in 1826 for the politician and landowner William Henry FitzMaurice, who was also the 2nd Earl of Kerry. The title has been passed down through generations, often linked to the FitzMaurice family, who have a long history in Irish nobility. The title is part of the British aristocracy and is one of several titles held by the FitzMaurice family. The current holder of the title is known as the 9th Viscount of Limerick. The viscountcy is primarily a ceremonial title, with no governing powers, reflecting the historical significance of the peerage system in the UK.
