Marquess of Winchester is a title in the Peerage of England that was created in 1551 for the prominent statesman William Paulet, 1st Earl of Wiltshire. It is the oldest of six surviving English marquessates; therefore its holder is considered the premier marquess of England.
Clearly he was a more than useful work-horse. In Edward VI's reign, he backed Northumberland against Somerset, was created earl of Wiltshire in 1550, and marquis of Winchester 1551.
