Viscount Butler of Tulleophelim, in the County of Carlow, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 4 August 1603 for Theobald Butler, the son of Sir Edmund Butler of Cloughgrenan, second son of James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond (see Earl of Ormonde for earlier history of the family). He later served as Lord Lieutenant of Carlow. The title became extinct on his death in 1613. Tulleophelim (or Tullowphelim[1]) is a civil parish located in County Carlow. The parish contains the town of Tullow. The name is contracted from Tullow-offelimy, (the Irish: tulach) or hill of the territory of the Hy Felimy, a tribe descended and named from Felimy, son of Enna Kinsella, Kings of Leinster in the fourth century.[2]
