The barony was created with normal remainder to the heirs male of his body while the viscountcy and earldom were created with special remainders to his daughters and the heirs male of their bodies, as his sons had already predeceased him. The barony became extinct on Lord Roberts's death in 1914. He was succeeded in the viscountcy and earldom according to the special remainders by his eldest daughter, the second Countess. She died unmarried and was succeeded by her younger sister, the third Countess. The latter’s son and only child Lieutenant Frederick Roberts Alexander Lewin was killed in action in the Second World War and consequently the viscountcy and earldom became extinct on the third Countess’s death in 1955.
